It wasn't bad, I just like a spinach/nut/red onion salad with dried, sweetened cranberries and drained mandarine oranges better. The dressing can be made with the syrup, extra virgin olive oil and a bit of sesame oil. I guess that I am not used to strawberries and salad dressing, it is an alien concept to my taste buds. But I did try it, it is always good to try new things!
