Start by preparing a strawberry and spinach salad.

Use a 10-ounce bag of pre-washed spinach leaves.

Add 1 quart of hulled and quartered strawberries to the bowl.

Include 1/3 cup of toasted almonds into the salad.

Add 1 whole seeded and diced cucumber for freshness.

Prepare the dressing in a Ball jar: add the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds, and 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar.

Shake the jar to mix the dressing ingredients until the sugar dissolves.

Decide whether to dress the salad now or let everyone dress their own servings.

If dressing the salad, pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently.

Serve the salad fresh, noting that it looks beautiful and is great for occasions like Easter.
