• For the salad:
• Toss the spinach, cheese, almonds, and remaining 1/4 cup strawberries in a large bowl and lightly drizzle with dressing.

Steps:

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, honey, herbs, garlic and shallot. Slowly whisk in oil to emulsify. In a large bowl, toss spinach with 2 T. vinegarette, add more to taste. Toss with remaining ingredients and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together oil, ketchup, cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire, pepper, and salt for dressing in a large measuring cup until well combined.

• Serve with remaining 3/4 cup dressing for drizzling.
