For the poppy seed dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, vinegar, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, torn spinach leaves, and crunchy almonds.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad, ensuring each leaf and strawberry is lightly coated.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
