Green salad with Berries

What you need:

1 head romaine lettuce

1/2 small package spinach

1 cup washed and sliced strawberries

1/2 cup washed blackberries

1/2 cup washed raspberries

1/2 cup sliced almonds

3 tablespoons white sugar

Brianna's Poppy Seed dressing

What to do:

1. Cut or tear romaine lettuce into bite size pieces.

2. Pinch stems off of spinach and add to lettuce pieces in a large salad bowl.

3. Toss in berries but hold out enough to top the salad with them as shown in the picture above.

4. On medium heat, combine almonds and white sugar,
 heat until the sugar melts and coats the almond slices.

Stirring constantly as the sugar melts, about three minutes.

5.  After sugar melts, pour onto wax paper in a single layer and let cool.

6.  Keep in the fridge until you're ready to eat, then let each person top with dressing as desired.

I love it when the berries are in season and we can put this salad together.
 It's super easy to put together, colorful and fresh.

It makes any occasion feel special.   Another variation we do on this is using strawberry slices and kiwi (instead of the mixed berries).  We still use the Brianna's Poppy seed dressing.
 These salads are great for a crowd and goes with just about everything.
