Ingredients
For the salad
- 6 cups baby spinach leaves
- 2 cups strawberries quartered
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted and diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
For the dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the salad
- Place the spinach, strawberries, almonds, red onion, avocado and feta cheese in a large bowl.
For the dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I buy a bag of toasted sliced almonds for this recipe. You can toast your own almonds by placing them on foil in the toaster oven for 2-3 minutes on the toast setting, or by toasting them in a dry pan on the stove. Watch carefully so that your nuts don't burn.
- Use a mandoline to cut your red onion as thinly as possible.
- I prefer to use a whole block of feta cheese and crumble it myself, as I feel that the flavor is better than the pre-crumbled cheese at the store.
