How To Make strawberry spinach salad

  • Step 1
    Add sliced strawberries to spinach in a medium bowl. Cut thinly sliced onion into bite-size pieces, and add to strawberries and spinach. Place cover on bowl and refrigerate.
  • Step 2
    First grate or zest lemon rind. Then juice lemons to make 1/3 cup. Add sugar and oil to lemon zest and juice. Refrigerate. Just before eating add almonds and lemon vinaigrette to spinach salad, and toss. Serve immediately.
  • Step 3
    Leftovers can be taken for lunch the next day if you add dressing only to portion you are eating. Otherwise, the strawberries break down.
