Strawberry Spinach Salad with Agave Poppy Seed Dressing

I LOVE fresh spinach tossed in a sweet and savory dressing.  This flavor combination is so amazing and the almonds give the salad a wonderful crunch.  Fresh, local strawberries are in abundance right now and this is a great, healthy way to enjoy the harvest.  I have made Freezer Jam, Fresh Strawberries with a Pomegranate Balsamic Reduction, Strawberry Tres Leche Trifle and this scrumptious salad with the 3 buckets that I just picked.  I am feeling a little sad that they are almost gone, so I think I'll make a trip back to the farm and get some more. :)  So many delicious strawberry options......
