Yummy! another winner. Just how I like salads a little vinegar a little sweet. I didn't have dijon so I used caper vinegar mixed with yellow mustard still came out great paired with the sweet pecans I had. I tossed in some grape tomatoes and red bell pepper as well. Made for ZWT 7.

This is a lovely salad, full of wonderful flavors and healthy ingredients - very similar to the spinach salad I make at home. Love the added tang from the mustard in the dressing - DH really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting - made for CELEBRATING NATIONAL DIABETES MONTH in the Diabetic Forum, November 2010!

Although I had to substitute hazelnuts for the pecans (didn't know I was out of the latter), this was delicious, simple and perfect! Thanks for posting!

It didn't take much of this deliciousness to coax my almost-skinny taste buds into submission. Made for ZWT #6 Family Picks.
