Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 8 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried; 1 cup sliced strawberries; 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese; 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion; 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds; 1/4 cup dried cranberries; 3 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil; 1 small clove garlic, minced; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well emulsified.
Toast the almonds

Place sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble the salad base

In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach leaves. Top with sliced strawberries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced red onion, and dried cranberries.
Add finishing touches

Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the salad. If serving immediately, drizzle with about half of the honey mustard dressing and toss gently to coat. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
Serve or store

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate from the salad and combine just before serving to prevent wilting.
