Springtime Layered Spinach Salad image

I got this recipe at a company picnic in the Colorado Rockies years ago. I was impressed by the fact that it was a "make ahead" recipe, that it would last days in the refrigerator and was so light and fresh tasting ---- but, particularly, because it was such a nice accompaniment to the Brats and Ribs that were being grilled and were so rich and spicy. There are a lot of layered salads on "zaar" but none quite like this. This is an excellent salad and so easy to prepare ahead and take to a party!
