Ingredients List
6 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds or pecans
Poppyseed Dressing:
1/4 cup cannabis-infused grape seed or light olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
Salt and white pepper to taste
Decarboxylation Instructions
Preheat oven to 240°F. Break cannabis flower into small pieces and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Allow to cool completely before beginning the oil infusion.
Infusion Instructions
In a double boiler, combine 1 cup of light oil with your decarboxylated flower. Maintain a temperature between 160°F and 180°F for 2-3 hours. Strain through cheesecloth into a clean glass jar.
Preparation Instructions
In a small glass jar or bowl, whisk together the infused oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, and ground mustard until well emulsified. Season with salt and white pepper.
In a large wooden salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, and red onion.
Gently toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the leaves evenly.
Top with the crumbled cheese and toasted nuts just before serving to maintain the crunch.
Serve immediately on chilled plates.
Chef Tips
To keep the spinach from wilting, only dress the salad immediately before serving. For an extra pop of flavor, macerate the strawberries in a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar for 5 minutes before adding them to the greens.
