WARM DRESSING FOR SPINACH

Warm Dressing for Spinach image

This tangy-sweet dressing is perfect for large gatherings. Keep it warm in a crockpot or slow-cooker. I like serving it over dandelion or spinach salad, and I also like it mixed in with mashed potatoes. Just a little gives a lot of flavor. -Victoria Hahn Northampton, Pennsylvania
