Prepare Ingredients: Wash and dry 6 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves. Gather 1 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), and 1/2 cup of almonds.
Make Brown Sugar Almonds: In a skillet over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup of almonds until lightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the almonds and stir until the sugar melts and coats the almonds. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
Assemble Salad: In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach leaves and mixed berries.
Add Brown Sugar Almonds: Once cooled, add the brown sugar almonds to the salad.
Dress Salad: Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately.
