Strawberry and Spinach Salad

I had this at a friend's house and I loved it.  Such a different sweet twist on salad.

1 bag of fresh spinach leaves
small carton of fresh strawberries, washed and thinly sliced
chopped vidalia or sweet onion
whole pecans (as many as you like)
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C vinegar
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
paprika
salt
pepper
butter
garlic salt

Sautee pecans in butter and garlic salt
In a blender, blend sugar, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, seeds, dash of paprika, salt and pepper. Add mixture, berries, onions and pecans to spinach leaves. Warm pecans will wilt leaves somewhat (this is okay). Serve immediately, otherwise wait to add dressing until serving time.
