FRUIT AND SPINACH SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Fruit and Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette image

This strawberry, apple and pear spinach salad is easy, light and delicious. I've created a tasty mild strawberry poppyseed vinaigrette to go with it. This salad is loved by every palate; young and old. If you like a stronger vinaigrette, feel free to add more red wine vinegar. I've also tested this with cider vinegar and it worked well; although I liked the red wine vinegar a teensy bit more.
