This is one of my favorite go to recipes for a summer salad. The strawberries make it refreshing, the spinach makes it healthy, and the candied almonds add a crunchy texture. I have even added chicken to make this a main dish salad. This picture is of the last bite just as it lay on my plate. It says it all.1 lb. spinach
1 qt strawberries or raspberries
1/4 cup almonds
1 Tbsp sugar
1 qt strawberries or raspberries
1/4 cup almonds
1 Tbsp sugar
Brown almonds and sugar in a skillet until just toasted and sugar melts onto almonds. Put on wax paper to cool.
Poppy Seed Dressing
Mix together:
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar (I always use 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 Tbsp minced green onion
1/4 - 1/2 cup oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar (I always use 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 Tbsp minced green onion
1/4 - 1/2 cup oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
Drizzle over spinach and strawberries just before serving. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with candied almonds.

Mmm...this bottom photo makes me want to lick my monitor! Especially cause I know how good it tastes :)
This recipe is simple and very satisfying. I did not have almonds so I used candied pecans and it was delicious. It has become a favorite in our family!!!
