    Method:
    Wash the spinach well and pat dry. Tear into bite-sized pieces.
    (To toast almonds, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes. Stir periodically to prevent burning.)

    On a salad plate, arrange a bed of spinach. Add some strawberries, grapes, and mandarin oranges on the spinach. Sprinkle with the almonds. Pour the dressing on the salad just before serving.

    Salad can also be tossed together in a large bowl. Be sure to pour the dressing on just before serving.
