SPINACH SALAD WITH ORANGES

Spinach Salad with Oranges image

The tangy dressing for this refreshing salad has the right sweet-tart balance to suit my taste-and others who try it agree! Orange sections are a pretty contrast to the greens, and the bacon adds a crisp accent. -Kathy Schrecengost Oswego, New York
