Strawberry Salad with Brown Sugar Almonds

Hands down, this is our new favorite salad. Remember that one time when spinach salad was healthy? Well we now it has brown sugar almonds and a sweet dressing full of sugar to ruin it for ya. Actually it’s still healthier than let’s say a Caesar  salad, but you get the point. Seriously, we looooove this salad. My cousin, Robyn brought it to a family get together and days later we were still talking about it. We had it for dinner one night and had the leftovers for lunch the next day. Sweet deliciousness!! I love a good salad recipe. Especially during the summer when you just want something light to eat or a good idea to take to a BBQ or potluck. Try this salad. Tomorrow would be a good day ;) Strawberry Salad with Brown Sugar Almonds
Recipe From Robyn

1 Bunch of spinach, washed and torn
2 Cups Strawberries, sliced
1 Can Mandarin Oranges
1/2 Cup Slivered Almonds
2 Tb Butter
1/4 Cup or more brown sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon

Dressing
1 cup lemon juice, use as much fresh as you can

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tbsp ground ginger
1/8 cup lemon zest (2 tbsp)Place the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to combine or place in a bowl and whisk together.

Toast the almonds over medium heat, watching carefully so as to not burn until slightly browning. Make sure you move them around while toasting. Add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until brown sugar begins to bubble and stick to the almonds. Remove from heat and spread almonds on parchment paper to cool.

Drizzle desired amount of dressing over the salad, toss everything together in a bowl, and serve immediately.
