Spinach and Strawberry Salad

This is the salad that was featured with the blackened fish we had the other day, and I just realized I didn't post the recipe for the salad.

Since we usually have strawberries and right now blueberries in the fridge, I thought it would be good to find a use for them other than just eating them as a snack.

Salad:
1 bag spinach
handfull of strawberries
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 green onion

Dressing:
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Honey

Put the spinach in a big bowl. Clean the strawberries, slice and add to the spinach. Slice the green onion and also add it to the bowl. 

Heat the sliced almonds in a pan on the stove top until slightly browned, careful not to burn them. When done add them into the salad and top with sesame seeds. Mix everything together.

In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey together and drizzle over the salad just before you are going to eat it.  I probably used about 1 to 2 Tablespoon of each for a small salad. Taste as you go and add more of what you like. I just make the dressing as needed so it is fresh each time.

I love fruit in my salad, and will make more of this type of salads. Do you like fruit in your salad, or just veggies?
