What a great salad! I don't usually buy spinach since I am the only one in the family that eats it, but I pick some up and this salad was a great way to have it. I did add some craisins, croutons, and gorgonzola cheese (after the picture of the original recipe) and about double the pumpkin seeds (my usual salad toppings) and it was great. Will make again. Made for I Recommend Tag.

This got rave reviews at the ladies fellowship tonight. I didn't get to actually taste any, but based on all the comments I'm giving this 5 stars. I didn't add the alfalfa sprouts as the store was out and I added a touch of splenda to the dressing, cuz I like mine a little sweet. Thanks for posting Sue L!!
