Ingredients
Directions
1/3 cup almonds, slivered4 cups baby spinach3/4 cup strawberries, quartered1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard1 teaspoon honey3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil1 ounce soft goat cheeseSalt and pepper to taste
Place the almonds in a dry skillet or saute pan. Cook over low heat, shaking the pan the entire time until the almonds are toasting. The almonds are done when you start to smell a "nutty" scent.
Remove almonds from the pan to cool. (Do not cool in the skillet because they will burn from the heat that remains in the pan.)
Prepare the dressing by placing the vinegar, mustard, and honey in a mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil.
Place the spinach in a large bowl. Add the strawberries, almonds, and dressing. Toss to coat. Top with goat cheese. If desired, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve immediately. 1 1/4 cups per serving

I love all of the ingredients in this! I doubled the recipe and really cut down the amount of oil, only used about 2 Tbs for double the dressing. I used more of a really high quality balsamic to make up for it. Would use less dijon next time, tasted to mustardy to me, everyone else loved it! - 5/1/10

Delicious! I had to make a couple of substitutions for the dressing since I didn't have honey or dijon mustard on hand. I used a pinch of sugar and mango-curry mustard. Still came out wonderful. Even my picky 11-year-old liked it. I added to my cookbook and will definitely make again! - 11/24/09

I have had a similar salad before and it was delicious. I will probably add cucumbers, shredded carrots and some cherry/grape tomatoes to make it more filling and get more veggies in. I will probably also use one of the Ken's healthy choice salad dressings to make it lower calories and carbs. - 11/5/09
