at first, it didn't sound appetizing. just something about strawberries and worcestershire sauce. this, however, is one of the tastiest salads i've ever had. -
Big hit at home. The dressing is absolutely perfect and the almonds add the perfect crunch. -
Very delicious and refreshing salad. I've used balsamic vinegar also, in place of the white wine vinegar, and it's just as good. Definitely a great way to enjoy spinach, especially for those that don't normally like it. -
made this for my mother-in-law, BIG HIT!! Thanks for the recipe! :) -
This salad is so cute! I made this exactly as directed and it was a great treat for lunch. I toasted the almonds in the microwave by adding a bit of butter and sugar and microwaving at 20 second intervals until they began to brown. I was out of white wine vinegar so i used plain and it still tasted delicious! Thanks for posting this, it was a great strawberry recipe to try. :)

I am a re-married Dad who enjoys cooking. I especially enjoy baking which comes in handy when my two boys stay over.
I don't have a favourite cookbook but love trying new recipes.
My pet peeve is baking sheets that burn food around their edges!!!
