Spinach Strawberry Salad

This is a quick and easy salad that most people love.

1 1lb. bag of baby spinach
1 C. sliced strawberries
1/2 C. sliced almonds

Dressing:

1/3 C. white sugar
1/3 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. white vinegar


Mix together the sugars and vinegar in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil making sure all the sugar is dissolved and then remove from heat. Cool before pouring over salad.

Dump spinach in a salad bowl. Toss in 3/4 of strawberries and 3/4 almonds reserving the rest for the top of the salad (to try and make it look pretty). Toss to evenly distribute. Place remaining strawberries and almonds over the top of the salad.

Right before serving, pour cooled dressing over salad and toss.

When making this recipe I tend to up the amount of strawberries and almonds because the family likes it with more. And should you double up on this recipe to feed a lot of people, there is no reason to double the dressing. There is plenty. If it is not strawberry season, you can substitute mandarin oranges instead.
