Nesha’s Strawberry Spinach Salad

1 bag fresh spinach
1 carton strawberries, sliced
½ of a small red onion, sliced
1 ripe avocado
1-2 tsp. lemon juice
½ cup (small bag) slivered almonds
¼ cup sugar
Poppy seed dressing

Pour spinach into a large bowl. Add sliced strawberries and red onion. Cube avocado and place in small bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice over avocado, mix well, then add to the spinach. Place almonds and sugar in frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir continually until the sugar melts and coats the nuts. When nuts are a golden brown, take off of the heat. When nuts have cooled, crumble with your hands and then add to the salad. Give the salad a good toss and serve with poppy seed dressing.
