Strawberry-Spinach Salad

Baby Spinach
Romaine Lettuce
Red Onion
Sliced Fresh Strawberries
Toasted Almonds
Poppy Seed Dressing

You can make as much or as little of this salad as you need. The flavors are wonderful together. Sometimes, I just put the ingredients on individual plates and sometimes in a big bowl. It is a pretty salad. When strawberries aren’t in season, I use mandarin oranges.
