Avocado & Strawberry Salad

Spring is almost here and I can't wait for the garden fresh lettuces to make salads.
Until then I settle on a few ingredients. Here is a good tasting strawberry, spinach and avocado salad with oranges to boot.

Ingredients:
4 cups baby spinach
1 avocado, diced
1 orange, peeled and segmented
2 cups strawberries, halved
2 - 3 shallots, sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
cracked pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions:
In a large serving bowl, add the spinach and top
with avocado, oranges, strawberries, and shallots.
In a small jar with a lid, combine the olive oil,
lime juice, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Cover and shake to blend flavors.
Drizzle the almonds and dressing over the salad.
