Instructions: Salad:
Clean spinach and strawberries. Mix in bowl. Set aside.

Dressing:
Combine all ingredients in a container with lid. Shake well before serving. Can be made up a day or two in advance.

Almonds:
Combine all ingredients in a non-stick frying pan or pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted sugar turns golden brown and coats almonds (approx. 5 - 10 minutes). Turn out onto a piece of greased foil. Cool and break into small pieces.

Cooks and cooks helpers treat the almonds as snack food. Its best to double the almond recipe so that by the time the salad is ready to serve, therell be some almonds left!

ASSEMBLY:
Add almond pieces to salad. Add dressing just before serving.

Serves 4 - 6 people.
