Spinach-Strawberry Salad

A foodie friend of mine once told me that the best salads have four main ingredients: greens, fruit, cheese & nut.  The following recipe may not be new to you, but it's a very tasty go-to salad.  It pairs beautifully with the Maple-Glazed Salmon.

Ingredients:
10-14 oz. baby spinach
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 oz. feta cheese
6 oz. can of Mandarin oranges (optional)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
low-fat poppy seed dressing

Preparation:
     So simple!  Just prepare all ingredients through Mandarin oranges as indicated.   Right before serving the salad, add in slivered almonds and dressing and toss well.  Delicious and nutritious!
