Michelle S.'s Note:

This is a tasty spring salad. You may substitute any low cal dressing for the one included in the recipe, I sometimes like a honey french instead of the vinaigrette. This is low cal too!!

I really liked the plums and pistachios in this spinach salad, and it makes a beautiful presentation. I will also try it with blue cheese and different dressings in the future for some variety. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Michelle.

This was a deliciously different spinach salad. I found that 2 tbsp of lemon juice was just right for my taste. Also I substituted canola oil for the safflower oil as this is what I had on hand. Next time I think I might add a little feta or blue cheese to the mix. Thank you Michelle S. for sharing the recipe.
