Sweet Spinach Salad image

A very light and sweet salad, no oil is used in this recipe. The cayenne pepper gives the sweet dressing a little heat and the lemon zest adds some tartness.

This was a really great recipe! I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but this salad was delicious. The sweetness of the strawberries and the crunch of the almonds really balanced out the bitterness of the spinach.
