Strawberry Spinach Salad

This is a pampered chef recipe. I omit the strawberries, naturally. The dressing is my favorite part - and its good on romaine (and tastes better than it smells). Enjoy!

Dressing:
1 lemon
2 T white vinegar
1/3 C sugar
1 T vegetable oil
1 t poppy seeds

Zest lemon, then juice it. Combine all and refrigerate until ready to use.

Salad:
1/4 C sliced natural almonds, toasted
8 oz (1 1/2 C) strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 medium cucumber, sliced and cut in half
1/4 small red onion, sliced into thin wedges (aout 1/4 C)
1 pkg (6 oz) baby spinach

Toast almonds in single layer in oven at 350 10-12 min. Cool while preparing salad. Mix salad and dressing, sprinkle with almonds, and serve.
