Strawberry-Spinach Salad with Lemon Dressing

I LOVE this salad, trust me it is delicious! (The best part are the sugared almonds!!! I leave out the mustard seed.)

Salad:
1 cup slivered almonds, sugared
1 bag (10 oz.) fresh spinach
1.5 apples, peeled and cut into wedges
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups sliced strawberries

Dressing:
2 TBSP lemon zest
2 TBSP lemon juice
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. mustard seed (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To candy almonds, wet them and roll in sugar. Bake 10 minutes. Cool.

In a bowl, toss all salad ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad just before serving and toss. Makes 6-8 servings.
