  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
Salad
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 lb baby spinach leaves

  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 pint fresh raspberries

Method
 

For the Vinaigrette
  1. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, dry mustard and onion powder in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.  Shake to mix.  If you are not using right away, chill until serving; however, I always bring it to room temperature before using.  
For the Salad
  1. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet.  Toast at 350 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring after 3 to 4 minutes.  let stand until cool.  Toss the almonds, spinach, lettuce, green onions, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and dill weed in a large salad bowl.  Add the vinaigrette just before serving and toss to coat.
