Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Place almonds on a small baking sheet with edges and toast them, stirring occasionally, until they turn a golden brown color, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Allow the almonds to cool down before using them in the recipe.
- 2In a large bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, poppy seeds, and sugar. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsified vinaigrette. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Seasonal note
Strawberries, peas, and pea tendrils are typically in season during the spring and early summer, making this salad ideal for those seasons. However, frozen peas can be used year-round for a similar taste.
