Spinach Salad image

Made this last night - very flavorful dressing. I got this recipe from Cottage Living, 6/2006, and made it with some adjustments. It originally called for 3 tablespoons sesame oil, so if you don't worry about fat intake (and are familiar with the relatively strong taste of sesame oil), go for it. Added a cup of leftover grape tomatoes. Also substituted maple syrup for the honey and I think it worked out well.
