Sunday Spinach and Strawberry Salad

With strawberries in abundance, I made this for dinner tonight. 
I topped it with grilled chicken and feta cheese.  The homemade poppyseed dressing is easy to make, light and delicious.  Just the right sweetness!

Salad:

1 (10 to 12 ounce) package baby spinach
1/3 cup sliced almonds (I used Trader Joe's Honey Roased Sliced Almonds)
1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced (I used an English cucumber and did not peel it.



Dressing:

1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon poppy seeds.

I use an Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Container.

For the dressing:

In a small glass bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, oil, and poppy seeds. Whisk together in the glass bowl or shake if using a jar.

Directions:

In a large salad bowl, add the spinach, almonds, strawberries and cucumber and toss together. Dress the salad right before serving.



Top with grilled chicken and feta cheese.
