Bergy, I just love spinach salad! For the onions I used scallions and for the honey mustard dressing, I used Beth Hamilton's [recipe=10823]Honey-Mustard Dressing[/recipe]. Great! Thanks! -
This was a lovely little salad; I think my spinach-to-other-ingredients ratio was kind of off, but it was nice nonetheless!! I just didn't like the addition of the onion with the other ingredients, so I didn't mind much that I only had a small sliver in there. I used Walden Farms bottled honey dijon dressing. Thanks for posting!

I had a fair bunch of sweet oranges, so used this great recipe for putting it all together for a wonderful taste! I did however use arugula instead of spinach, but the taste was fabulous! Just made a quick batch of honey mustard dressing, and presto....done! Thanks, Bergy! -
I wish I could give this 10 stars! What a great, refreshing salad. I made Recipe #5243 to use for the dressing listed. It was great! This was a starter for Recipe #27488 and Recipe #62090. YUM, we were both so satisfied and full! Everything went so well together Thank you the great salad! I put this in my "Super Salad" cookbook! :) Thank you, Bergy!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
