SPINACH SALAD WITH DRIED CHERRIES
I love spinach salads, dijon mustard and dried cherries so this was a hit with me from the get go. It's a Martha Stewart recipe and absolutely rocks! You could easily substitute dried cranberries, but the tartness of the cherries are amazing. Enjoy! Note: prep time includes time for toasting pumpkin seeds.

A mix of juicy pears, sweetened nuts, dried cherries, and feta cheese makes this is a show-stopping sweet salad! The taste and colors will impress! You may add more of the pear syrup to the dressing to make it thinner, or increase the amount of yogurt for creamier results.
