Salad Ingredients:

Salad Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup cashew pieces
15 wontons, cut into thin strips
1 large head red leaf lettuce ( I use regular lettuce--no one likes unusual stuff), washed and broken into pieces
1 pkg. spinach, with stems trimmed
1/2 cup bacon pieces, cooked and well drained
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 purple onion, slices
1 cup strawberries, sliced

Directions
Heat a medium frying pan and add sugar and nuts, Stir constantly over med. heat until nuts are coated and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Fry wontons in hot cooking oil and drain onto paper towels.
When ready to serve salad, put lettuce, spinach, bacon, red pepper, onion, and strawberries into a large bowl and toss. Add salad dressing and toss. Add nuts and wontons last. Makes 10 servings.
Variations: use fresh raspberries and raspberry jam. Substitute almonds
for cashews. When fresh berries aren't available use dried cranberries.
