Like me, are you inspired by the freshest of all foods this time of the year? Strawberries are both bountiful and versatile, pairing well with almost anything. One of my favorite combos is fresh oranges and strawberries. Try them in this delish Strawberry-Spinach Salad with Tangy Orange Dressing and I promise, you too will be singing!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Begin by heating a large skillet and melting 2 Tbsp. butter, add 4 Tbsp. of brown sugar, and 8 ounces (1 cup) slivered almonds. Stir constantly, watching carefully as they will burn easily. When they look toasted and candied like this, remove from heat.<\/div>\n

Allow nuts to cool on a parchment<\/a> covered baking sheet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Make the dressing by combining rice vinegar, sugar or substitute, orange juice concentrate, salt and pepper, and canola oil.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
You may whisk it together or I like to use my immersion blender for a frothy, creamy dressing.<\/div>\n

Combine spinach, romaine, and green onions. Toss with dressing, strawberries and oranges and garnish with candied almonds. Enjoy!<\/div>\n
