Strawberries need not be confined to dessert, says Denis Pelletier, chef at
Restaurant Le Mouilin de St. Laurent on Ile d'Orleans. The island is one of
the province's lushest strawberrygrowing areas. The chef suggests serving
this colourful salad with a semisoft cheese as St. Nectaire. Make a salad
dressing by combining vinegar, oil and water. Add chopped shallots and
pepper to taste. Arrange cut or sliced up strawberries in a spiral formation on the
spinach and drizzle with the dressing. SERVES:6
