Summer Spinach Salad



1 pkg. baby spinach
15 oz. can mandarin oranges
1/2 lb. strawberries, sliced
1 c. slivered almonds, caramelized
Poppyseed dressing

Toss spinach, mandarin oranges, and strawberries in salad bowl. Put almonds in small bowl to sprinkle on individual servings.

To caramelize almonds: Put 3-6 T. sugar (depending on your preference), and almonds in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until sugar dissolves and caramelizes and coats the almonds. Place almonds on a plate or pan to cool. Stir while cooling to keep almonds separated.
