Ingredients
- 6 cups Baby spinach
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Almonds, sliced and toasted
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 0.33 cup Vegan balsamic vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the baby spinach leaves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Rinse and slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces. Add them to the salad bowl.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Use about 1/4 cup or adjust to taste, and add it to the bowl.
Step 4
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat when golden and fragrant, then let them cool slightly before adding to the salad.
Step 5
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Gently add the diced avocado to the salad bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the vegan balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
