STRAWBERRY TOSSED SALAD

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider or red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon each salt and paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 cups torn mixed greens
2 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup croutons
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Mix first seven ingredients in jar with lid; shake well to make dressing. Toss remaining ingredients with dressing.  Serves 6-8. This is my most favorite summer salad.  I have substituted other fruit for the strawberries - blueberries, peaches, and mandarin oranges.
