Strawberry-Spinach Salad

This a great salad for Spring!  I LOVE this salad and it is also a big hit with the kids.  It is also great for EASTER!!! I got this recipe out of my old ward's cookbook from a Sister in our ward named Cara Sullivan.  This is how you make it.

What you Need:

(10 oz) fresh spinach, washed and remove stems
1 lb. strawberries, hulled and sliced

Dressing:
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tbs. Lemon Juice
6 Tbs. Vegetable Oil

Topping:
1/4 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Sliced Almonds

To make the dressing, place sugar and lemon juice in a lidded jar and shake until the sugar is dissolved.  Add oil and shake well.  Refrigerate until needed.  For the topping, in a heavy frying pan, heat the sugar and almonds, stirring constantly until the sugar caramelizes.  Once it is a dark golden, IMMEDIATELY remove from heat and spread coated nuts on aluminum foil to cool.  While the nuts are cooling, Toss spinach and strawberries and dressing in a large bowl.  Then after the almonds are all cooled, crumble it on top of salad. Serve and Enjoy! It's DELICIOUS!!!!
