Instructions
Prep the Ingredients
Cook the chick’n strips according to package directions, and let cool (optional).
While chick’n is cooling, put 5 oz of spinach in a salad bowl.
Slice about 2 strawberries and mix in with the spinach.
Make the Dressing
Put 1/2 cup oil, 2-4 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp mustard, 2 tbsp vinegar, and 3 strawberries in a blender or use an immersion blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 tsp poppy seeds after blending if desired.
Assemble the Salad
Top the salad with sliced strawberries and chick’n strips.
Pour the dressing over the salad just before eating.
Notes
Do not mix the dressing and the spinach ahead of time.
Pour dressing just before eating.
Stir poppy seeds into the dressing after mixing with a blender.
To make the Butler Soy Curls into chicken strips
Rehydrate 2 cups of soy curls in 1 cup of very hot chicken-style vegan broth and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Saute over medium heat in a frying pan in a little oil until slightly crispy.
