This is my favorite salad EVER! It was actually the first recipe ever posted on this little old blog, but it was badly in need of of new picture. I've also updated the recipe a little including the recipe I use for sugared almonds. If you haven't tried this out yet, here's your chance.

Strawberry Spinach Salad
Baby Spinach
Sliced Strawberries (fresh not frozen)
Feta Cheese
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 TBSP granulated sugar
To make the sugared almonds place the almonds and sugar in a medium sized skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the almonds are lightly toasted. Pour onto parchment paper and let cool to room temperature. Break into small pieces if needed.
Toss a few handfuls of spinach into a salad bowl. Slice a few strawberries over the spinach. Sprinkle with Feta and almonds as desired. Drizzle with Poppy Seed Dressing.
