Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

    Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Crumble the Feta Cheese

  4. 4

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

    Mix the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and emulsified.
