Strawberry Spinach Salad with Honey Almonds



This is a family favorite at our house. Simple and delicious, even without the almonds.

Ingredients:
  • 2 to 3 large handfuls of spinach
  • 4 or 5 strawberries, sliced
  • small to medium handful of almonds, chopped
  • honey, between 1/2 Tb-2 Tb...depends on your amount of almonds and how sweet you want them
  • poppy seed dressing, we prefer Briannas Home Style (as pictured above)
Directions:
  1. Put spinach in a bowl. Add sliced strawberries.
  2. Place chopped almonds in a pan and heat on medium low for about 5 minutes, stirring so they don't burn. Then turn the burner off and drizzle honey all over the nuts. Stir until completely coated. Let cool for 1-2 minutes then add to the salad. (If you let them cool too long they will get really stuck together and it will be hard to get them in bite size clumps.)
  3. Enjoy! Makes about 4 servings.
