Strawberry Spinach Almond Salad

I'm having this refreshing strawberry salad today to celebrate that the spring weather has finally arrived!

This week, I'm joining an online collaboration with fellow foodies and bloggers -

It's always a load of fun to see new creations and pick up a few recipes to stash away in my back pocket! Scroll down to see all of the great recipes.

I love this salad because the red wine vinegar balances the sweet, yet slightly tart strawberry flavour and the almonds and sesame seeds add welcomed texture.

Serves 2-3 people

3-4 cups baby spinach
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 stalk of green onion, diced
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp sesame seeds
3 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tbsp almonds, sliced/ slivers
2 tsp flax seed

Remove the stems of the baby spinach and place in a large bowl. Add the strawberries and green onions to the spinach.

Mix the red wine vinegar and honey in a small bowl. Add the flax seeds and sesame seeds and stir together. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.

Sprinkle the almond slivers on top and VOILA, enjoy!
