2cupsFresh Strawberries, trimmed and halved. (1 pint)
Instructions
Measure dressing ingredients. Blend for a few seconds using a hand-held immersion blender or a small food processor. Pour into a small screw-top jar.
Place almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Heat the almonds until they are light brown and fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally, for about 4 minutes.
Remove the outer leaves of the romaine lettuce and slice off the core; discard. Slice the lettuce crosswise into 1-inch strips.
Rinse the romaine and spinach under cold running water. Spin the leaves in a salad spinner or gently pat dry with paper towels. Place in a mixing bowl.
Divide salad mixture onto four large salad plates. Scatter feta cheese, red onion, strawberries, and toasted almonds on each salad.
Pass the dressing.
Notes
TIPS:
Prepare the dressing at least 15 minutes in advance if you have the time.
You can make the dressing with frozen strawberries but use fresh berries on the salad.
Store the dressing in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Diet tip: use the honey sparingly. Start with one teaspoon and taste. It might be all you need.
