Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted for extra flavor)

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach: Thoroughly rinse and dry the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl as the base of your salad.

    Add the Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries and layer them evenly over the spinach.

      Incorporate the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the strawberries and spinach. If using a dairy-free alternative, scatter it in a similar fashion.

        Include the Almonds: Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or until golden, then add to the salad.

          Add Red Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and sprinkle it over the salad for a hint of sharpness.

            Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, combine the balsamic vinaigrette with honey (if using) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk or shake to mix well.

              Toss It All Together: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.

                Serve Fresh: Enjoy the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture, or refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving to meld the flavors.
