Spinach Salad with Strawberries & Poppy Seed Dressing

I made this salad for a summer baby shower.  It was all women and we were having a cold soup and sandwiches, so I wanted something simple, light and healthy, yet delicious.

Spinach salads are so easy to make and have SO much flavor!

 Salad Ingredients:

• 1 Package Baby Spinach
• 1 pint strawberries, sliced
• 4 ounces crumbled Goat Cheese (You could use Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese instead)
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (I bought some in a bag in the Produce Section that were honey roasted-- YUM!)
• Poppy Seed Dressing (recipe below)  

To make the salad: You could put everything in a bowl and toss with the dressing.  I layered everything and poured the dressing over the top because I thought it looked prettier.  This is just personal preference.

Modifications: You could add Avocado to this, or you could use a different nut if you don't want almonds.  Pecans would be delicious in this as well.
