Spinach and Strawberry Salad

On Saturday night, my son and I went to a night market here in Richmond BC. The night market is open every year during the summer and people go there for the food and cheap merchandise. We arrived early, so we were able to taste some of the foods and then walked around to browse through all the stalls. Before we left, we had to buy rotisserie pork hock and chicken karaage to take home with us. They were both good but my favorite was the pork hock, a dish which reminds me of a Filipino dish, crispy pata (deep fried pork hock).  There were some left-over for lunch the next day, so I decided to make this spinach and strawberry salad to go with it. The salad consists simply of spinach and strawberries with a sweet and light dressing. My youngest son even got creative by adding slices of pineapples and kiwis. Delicious 🙂
