| Directions | Prepare salad, layer spinach, strawberries, cucumber and onion. Drizzle the dressing and top with almonds right before serving. To toast almonds, you can bake them on a cookie sheet at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes (until lightly toasted) then allow to cool. You can also toast them in a non-stick skillet on the stove top with just a light spray of cooking spray. Turn them constantly so they don't burn. |
