Strawberry and Feta Salad with cinnamon candied almonds

spinach
sliced strawberries
feta
thinly sliced red onion

Dressing
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup mayo
2 Tbs. rice vinegar
1/4 cup milk
Combined all ingredients and mix well.

Cinnamon roasted almonds
1 egg white
1 tsp cold water
4 cups whole almonds or slivered ( I used slivered as well as just 3 cups of almonds)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly grease a 10x15 jellyroll pan
2. Lightly beat the egg white: add water, and beat until frothy but not stiff. Add the nuts, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugar, salt and cinnamon and sprinkle over the nuts. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until golden. Allow to cool, then store nuts in airtight containers.
