1
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
2
Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and set aside. Thinly slice the red onion.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
4
In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, sliced strawberries, red onion, and sliced almonds.
5
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
6
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top just before serving to maintain its texture.
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.
