Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 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 Ingredients: Begin by washing spinach leaves thoroughly and drying them. Hull the strawberries, removing their green tops, and slice them into thin rounds. Slice the red onion as finely as possible.

    Toast the Almonds: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, and red onion. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese on top.

        Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinaigrette and honey (if using). Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the spinach and strawberries are well-coated.

          Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

            Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or hemp seeds over the top for added nutrition.
