Spinach and Exotic Fruit Salad

This is another recipe from the "Creme de Colorado" cookbook, it is the best Spinach salad I've ever had! Very easy to prepare, in fact, it can all be prepared ahead and just tossed together when ready to eat. This is also the best Poppyseed dressing I've ever eaten. I fixed this last night and hardly ate anything BUT the salad, it's that good! Recipe makes 8 side salad servings, but if you want it as a main dish type salad I would figure on half the servings.
