A refreshing and vibrant salad combining the sweetness of berries with the crunch of nuts and the tang of a homemade dressing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced red onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Whisk until well blended.
For a smoother dressing, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean slices and preserve the fruit's texture.
Toast the sliced almonds in a toaster oven or skillet until lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Stir the almonds frequently while toasting for even browning.
In a large salad bowl, toss the fresh spinach with the prepared dressing until evenly coated.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid overdressing the salad.
Add the sliced strawberries and toasted almonds to the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Gently fold the ingredients to maintain their shape and texture.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
For a more vibrant presentation, arrange the strawberries on top before serving.
