Strawberry Spinach Salad

Salad:
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup cashew halves
15 wontons, cut into strips
1 large head red leaf lettuce
1 pkg spinach
1/3 cup cooked bacon, broken into pieces
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 cup sliced strawberries

Dressing:
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp strawberry jam

To make dressing, mix together vinegar, sugar, oil, mustard, salt, and strawberry jam. Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Heat a medium fry pan and add sugar and nuts. Stir constantly over med low heat until nuts are coated and slightly brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Fry wontons in oil on med high heat and drain onto paper towel. When ready to serve salad, put lettuce, spinach, bacon, onion, and strawberries into a large bowl and toss. Add dressing (blend again). Add sugared nuts and wontons last. This is my favorite salad!
