Spinach Salad With Orange Vinaigrette

"This is a light and tasty salad that goes well with summer dinners. I usually serve it with my Fruity Gazpacho. You can sub dried cranberries or dried cherries if strawberries aren't available. Another recipe I adapted from the Low Fat Living Cookbook."

  1. I was unable to find the Belgian endive. I would love to try this again with the missing endive. I used a combination of spinach and mixed greens, followed the directions for the dressing and added several grinds of fresh black pepper before serving. The dressing is very light, mild with a nice citrus flavor. It is a colorful and attractive salad. I think it would also be good to add some cooked, chilled chicken breast for a complete meal.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My favorite cookbook, well I guess I have 3...The Way to Cook, by Julia Child, the Low Fat Living Cookbook and The California Wine Country Cookbook II. I am retired, due to no longer being able to work because of complications from the Crohns Disease I have lived with since 1971. For a while I didn't even do any cooking or knitting since the inflammatory arthrisis (secondary to the Crohns) was too painful in my hands and feet. Fortunately I am now on a drug protocol that seems to be working, but I am still not able to be as productive as I would like. Still can't work, but I am cooking and knitting again. My husband and I moved to Surprise, Arizona at the end of January 2005. My husband is retired from being in the wine business. I love to cook (and we love to eat) and am always looking for new recipies to try. Due to a slight blood sugar problem my husband has to stick to a diet that eliminates sugars and bad carbs, so I have had to modify a lot of the recipes we like. I love Recipezaar, as I have found so many good, healthy recipes here. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I post as much as I have enjoyed the new ones I've found here.</p>
