Well received at a potluck supper. Did not use half the quantity of spinach for nine people and had plenty to go round as there were appetizer's as well! A little of the delicious dressing goes a long way!

This is really delicious! My husband is not crazy about salad, but he agreed this one is tasty. I used green leaf lettuce, and didn't have any almonds, but it is the dressing that makes this recipe anyway! It is slightly tangy but sweet enough to blend the taste of leaf and berry together!
