Gouda Strawberry Salad

GOUDA STRAWBERRY SALAD This is a recipe I obtained from an Estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Elmquist Estate in Heath, Texas in 1981. 3 cups romaine 3 cups fresh spinach 8 ounces sliced Gouda cheese 2 cups sliced juicy red strawberries 1/2 cup toasted ground pecans Strawberry Vinaigrette: 1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam or strawberry preserves 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 3/4 cup red wine, strawberry or raspberry vinegar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Arrange greens on four salad plates. Arrange cheese in wedges and strawberries alternately on greens. Use 2 ounces of cheese and 1/2 cup strawberries per plate. Divide dressing between four plates and garnish with 2 tablespoons pecans. For vinaigrette whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Place in jar with lid and chill until ready to use.
