Spinach, Berry, Almond Salad

My cousin brought this to our family Christmas dinner. It was so good and fresh tasting. A welcome change from all the traditional holiday fare! This sounds really easy. She had red raspberries but I'm sure you could use the black ones! I am guessing on the prep time and cooking time for the dressing.
