Spring mix salad with strawberries, almonds, parmesan and dressing

Last week I went to D'Angelo's Pizza and had the Sensation Salad. It was so good I had to recreate it. This is one of the best salads I've made on SCD.

1 bag salad greens (spinach, romaine, spring mix, etc.)
1/2 - 1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup toasted almond slices
Fresh grated parmesan cheese

Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
2 minced garlic cloves
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch salt
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan

Dressing:
Put everything but the oil in a food processor or blender and whiz to incorporate. Slowly drizzle the EVOO in until it starts to emulsify. It's best if you let it sit overnight.

Serve:
Place the salad greens in a large bowl.
Pour dressing over and toss to coast.
Add strawberries, almonds, and parmesan and toss once to combine. You don't want to toss too much or all the strawberries, almonds and parmesan will fall to the bottom.

Serve with protein like grilled shrimp. MMMM
