Spring Greens with Strawberries and Feta

I have been on a strawberry kick and thank goodness they are finally getting in season. Yum! Try this salad with tongue-tingling tastes or even add grilled, sliced chicken breasts for a light meal. You won't be disappointed.

1 cup slivered almonds
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 package spring greens salad mix
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries


In a small skillet, cook almonds over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.


In a medium bowl, mix together garlic, honey, mustard, vinegars and brown sugar. While whisking briskly, slowly add oil. This will allow the oil to emulsify.


Toss together spring greens, cooled almonds, feta cheese and strawberries. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve.
