I thought this was quite lovely. Loved the toasted almonds. I had to improvise a little. The spinach was really the pits, so I used romaine. Also, I only had plain yogurt, so I mashed up a few strawberries into it, and continued from there. Really nice. I'd probably up the balsamic a bit next time....love how that goes with strawberries. Thanks Sue for a great recipe. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Swap #30.
