Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Dressing

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 dash salt
• 3/4 cup sliced almonds (or slivered almonds)
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup strawberry jam
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp poppy seeds
• 1 pound fresh strawberries (sliced)
• 12 oz baby spinach

Instructions

1. 1

   Dump the sugar, salt, and almonds into a non stick skillet. Cook and stir over medium high heat until the sugar melts and the almonds are browned and coated with melted sugar. (I like to use a heat safe silicone spatula.)

2. 2

   Spread the almonds out onto a silicone liner or parchment paper, breaking apart with a fork if needed. Cool completely.

3. 3

   Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.

4. 4

   Serve spinach salad with sliced strawberries, candied almonds, and strawberry dressing.
