Spinach Strawberry Salad

This is a great recipe that my friend Taylor has on her blog. It is light, delicious, simple and healthy.

1 lb. spinach
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. If you wait too long the sugar will scorch and turn brown. You don't want this to happen. Put on wax paper to cool or any plate will do.

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 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp poppy seeds

Drizzle over spinach and strawberries just before serving. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with candied almonds. Enjoy. For more recipes, visit www.icookandtell.blogspot.com
