The weather, dear reader, is getting warmer and warmer by the day, you know? It has been nothing short of a LOVELY spring here in Utah. Crossing my fingers mother nature stays lovely for a while longer and doesn’t haul off and scorch us anytime soon. I’d prefer lovely warm weather to scorching heat wave weather, any day of the week. I’d love it Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Hang in there. Wednesday…well you get the idea, right? Pretty sure you can recite all of the days of the week your very own self. Am I right, or what. Reciting the days of the week is so like, 3 decades ago. For sure.
Todays recipe is definitely a warm weather, enjoy the beautiful world around you, kind of recipe. Strawberry Spinach Salad, laden with heavenly things like red onions, feta cheese and sugared almonds. Top it off with the homemade Raspberry Poppyseed Vinaigrette I posted yesterday and life will be a beautiful thing. Beautiful on Sunday. Monday. Tuesday… 🙂

We've had a lovely spring as well. I had a feeling this might be the salad you were going to use that vinaigrette on (great minds…, you know the saying). I've been on such a spinach kick lately… and I happen to adore spinach and with strawberries, and spinach with craisins :). Surely I'll enjoy spinach with strawberries, craisins, and your yummy raspberry vinaigrette.
Love your recipes and this one looks very yummy! Going to try it very soon. Quick question, in the ingredients, you have 2 T. sugar listed – I assume that is for the almonds? In the instructions you say to sprinkle 1/2 c. sugar on almonds. Which is the correct amount of sugar? I'm guessing it's the 2 T but just wanted to check. Thanks!!
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, you just need 2 tablespoons. 🙂
