As Promised, The Spinach Strawberry Salad Recipe.

SPINACH STRAWBERRY SALAD
1 bag baby spinach
1 pint strawberries, cleaned and sliced
Sugared almonds (below, I always make lots of extras)
Dressing (below, I usually double the recipe because it makes a great marinade for salmon or chicken too)

SUGARED ALMONDS
1 bag slivered almonds
1 egg white
White sugar

Whip egg white until frothy (not quite peaked), fold in almonds to coat. Remove coated almonds from bowl, stir coated almonds in sugar to coat, spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 350* for about 10-15 minutes (watch carefully!). When you take them out of the oven, stir the almonds every minute until cooled, set aside.

DRESSING
1/2 cup sugar
2 tblsp. Sesame seeds (optional)
1 tblsp. Poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. Minced green onion
1/4 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/2 cup salad oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar

Combine together, and pour over salad shortly before serving.
