Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing your mixed greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. After washing, use a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel to dry the greens thoroughly.
  2. Next, wash your strawberries under cold water, gently removing any stems. Slice each strawberry into thin, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with your mixed greens.
  3. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast your almonds for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Transfer to the salad bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over your salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
