BEAUTIFUL SALAD



Beautiful Salad image

A spur-of-the-moment creation when I wanted something with a great flavor punch and lots of color, plus quick to prepare---this one fills the bill, with baby spinach and colorful cranberries and mandarin oranges, plus the crunch of sweetened almonds and the pungent feta cheese---a new favorite at our house! You may substitute blue cheese for the feta and any kind of sweetened pecans or walnuts, if desired, for the almonds.

CITRUS SPINACH SALAD



Citrus Spinach Salad image

A nice, refreshing twist on a spinach salad - a perfect compliment to any holiday meal! Great with Ham! ****Noteworthy - this makes quite a bit of dressing - so depending on your taste, you may want to increase the amount of salad fixings or slightly decrease the dressing (or just save it for another day!!).
