Strawberry Spinach Salad

Strawberry-Spinach Salad

• 1 bag snipped fresh spinach
• 1 head of romaine, washed, dried, and torn into bite size pieces
• 12 sliced strawberries
• 2 sliced fresh oranges
• 1 bunch of sliced green onions, (some of the green tops too)
• 2 tsp. butter
• 4 tsp. brown sugar
• 1 cup slivered almonds

Orange Delight Dressing:

• 1/2 cup rice vinegar ( I like seasoned rice vinegar)
• 1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitute like stevia, I use about 1/2 dropper-full)
• 2 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup canola oil

In a saucepan saute melted butter and add brown sugar. Stir almonds constantly to toast and sugar coat. Be careful they will burn! Cool on parchment paper. Prepare greens and place in a in a large salad bowl. Add strawberries, oranges, green onions. Just before serving toss with dressing and garnish with almonds before serving.
