Cranberry Mandarin Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette image

I prefer to use spinach or other dark leafy greens because they are tastier than iceberg, and also because of the amount of calcium they contain. I'm always looking for ways to boost my calcium intake since I can't eat dairy. -Holly Bauer, West Bend, Wisconsin
