In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, sliced strawberries, chopped avocados, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients without bruising the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, sugar, cider vinegar, and poppyseeds until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust sweetness or tang as desired.
Drizzle about half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing as needed to reach your preferred creaminess.
Garnish with extra crumbled feta and sliced almonds for presentation. Serve immediately.
Notes
Assemble the salad just before serving to keep spinach crisp and avocado fresh. Store leftover dressing in the fridge for up to 5 days.
