Scale

- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Wash the spinach: Start by giving your baby spinach a good rinse. Spin it dry to avoid soggy spinach!
- Prepare the blueberries: Wash and set aside the fresh blueberries to drain.
- Slice the red onion: Thinly slice to mellow its sharpness; soak in cold water if needed.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Toss it all together: In a large bowl, combine spinach, blueberries, red onion, almonds, and feta. Drizzle the dressing over and gently toss.
- Add final touches: Check seasoning and add some extra blueberries and almonds before serving.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh. You can prepare it in advance but keep the dressing separate until serving to maintain crispness.
