1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

(Feel free to play around with the recipe ~ adding a few slices of mandarin oranges is a tasty addition...or maybe you prefer walnuts or cashews over almonds!)

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Cover, and chill for one hour.

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries and almonds. Pour dressing over salad, and toss. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
