Ingredients

Raspberry Vinaigrette Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup oil canola or olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam I prefer the one with seeds
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. agave or sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • pepper to taste

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 -6 oz. bag baby spinach
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup almonds roughly chopped and toasted
  • 2 Tbsp. feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

Directions for Vinaigrette

  • In a jar or container with a tight fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients. Place lid on jar and shake vigorously until dressing is well blended and there are no more clumps of jam.

Directions for Salad

  • Roughly chop almonds. Place on a baking sheet and toast in oven or toaster oven for just a few minutes. Keep your eyes on them, nuts go from white to black very quickly.
  • In a large bowl empty bag of spinach. Top spinach with sliced strawberries, toasted almonds, cranberries and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Serve salad with vinaigrette on the side, or pour directly on top and give a light toss. (If saving leftovers, do not add vinaigrette until serving).
