In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, sliced strawberries, red onion, and sliced almonds.

Chef's Tips
- Toasting the almonds: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dressing and chop ingredients ahead of time, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
- Variations: Add grilled chicken or avocado for extra protein and creaminess.
- Dressing tip: Adjust honey and vinegar quantities to balance sweetness and tanginess to your taste.
- Storage: Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
