  Les Frises Vinaigrette et Leurs Pousses Vertes
  
  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 strawberry-growing areas. The chef suggests serving
  this colourful salad with a semi-soft cheese as St. Nectaire.
  
  Make a salad dressing by combining vinegar, oil and water. Add chopped
  shallots and pepper to taste. Arrange sliced strawberries in a spiral
  formation on the spinach and drizzle with the dressing.
