mmmm yum. Had this for lunch and what a great salad. couldnt find papaya at the store, or mango (My substitute when its raw) however the strawberries made up for it. delicious. oh the cheese i used was "borgonzola" half the price of roquefort and cambozola

Very good however I would allow the dressing to cool just slightly before pouring on top next time, it caused the spinach to shrink slightly, the combinations of ingredients was wonderful, thanks Nimz!...Kitten:)

This was very interesting! I didn`t like the smell of the dressing as it cooked. BUT! when poured and eaten it was very very good. The heat of the dressing warmed the cheese to a nice creamy texture. I used 6 ounces of baby spinach, 1 apple, and kept the rest of the ingredient amounts as directed, Serving 2. I did have extra dressing and only poured it over the dressing to be tossed just before eating.
