This is a very simple and delicious salad to make, especially in the summer. Representing California cuisine. My family does not like spinach very much, but they love this dish. Also great to take to pot luck or church dinners as it is a "different" salad. The secret is to find the pale green fresh baby spinach leaves as opposed to the larger, tough, dark green ones in a bag! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Yummy! I love it! There is a lot of dressing, I am glad I did not use it all for the amount of greens. I will definitely use this again. Thank you.

I really liked this salad, but when I looked at the recipe it seemed like it needed something more than just lettuce and fruit. So when I made this for a main dish for dinner the other night, I used mandrin oranges, added slivered almonds, and half a sliced chicken breast on top. Turned out great. We also ate it with grilled pita bread. I wasn't sure about the dressing at first, but it came out really good. My husband insisted we add it to our collection.

I was so excited to try this! And the salad was sooo good and had a fresh flavor. But sadly as I was taking the dressing out of the frig I dropped it and it went all over the floor! So we topped it with Raspberry Vinegrette and it was still really good!!

I would normally shy away from this recipe because the dressing doesn't sound appealing to me. However, the reviews were really good and rightfully so! This was soooo simple to put together, and I really loved the dressing! It has such a unique flavor, sweet and tangy. This recipe makes A LOT of dressing. There's enough for a big salad to feed about 4 people or more. Thanks Leslie!
