Strawberry Spinach Salad

Eric and I are going to a BBQ with our small group tonight to celebrate the beginning of summer and we will be going on break from meeting regularly for the summer. So what will the dietitian and her husband be bringing tonight......you guessed it (if you looked at the title) Strawberry Spinach Salad!


Here's what you'll need:

-1 package fresh baby spinach
-1 carton fresh strawberries, cut into sections
-1/2 cup slivered almonds
-1/4 cup granulated sugar
-Light Done Right Raspberry Vinaigrette

Sugared Almonds: Place almonds and sugar in saute pan and turn on medium heat. Constantly stir mixture and when sugar is melted and almonds are lightly browned take off of heat and cool on waxed paper.

Toss all ingredients together and enjoy this YUMMY HEALTHY SUMMER SALAD!! The sugared almonds provide a crunchy texture and add a great flavor!

I started training with the contract dietitian today at work and it was a good day and I'm excited about the possibilities and can already see how much of a beneift it will be to have a full time RD on staff and in the building. I am headed to Norfolk next week and I was very excited when the non-smoking car asked me to ride with them......it will be fun to get to know everyone on a different level AND there is free wine from 5-7 at our hotel......YES PLEASE!
