Ingredients
Almond Vinaigrette
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ cup non-GMO canola oil (see post above for options)
  • ¼ cup natural rice vinegar
Strawberry Spinach Salad
  • 10 ounces baby spinach leaves torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup strawberries, thinly sliced, plus additional for garnish
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, plus additional for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add the oil in a fine stream, whisking constantly until incorporated. This will help to emulsify your salad dressing. Add the vinegar slowly, whisking constantly.
  2. Put the spinach, strawberries, onion, and almond in a large bowl and gently toss to combine.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette, as needed, over the salad and toss to coat.
  4. Garnish with additional strawberries and almonds.
