Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh baby spinach

2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach: Rinse the baby spinach under cold water and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.

    Cut the Strawberries: Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. Add the sliced strawberries to the bowl with the spinach.

      Toast the Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

        Add Red Onion and Feta: Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onion and crumbled feta cheese over the spinach and strawberries.

          Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake until well emulsified.

            Combine the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Gently toss to combine all ingredients without bruising the spinach and strawberries.

              Finish with Almonds: Top the salad with the toasted almonds for a delightful crunch.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. Enjoy the vibrant mix of flavors and textures!
