A nice, refreshing twist on a spinach salad - a perfect compliment to any holiday meal! Great with Ham! ****Noteworthy - this makes quite a bit of dressing - so depending on your taste, you may want to increase the amount of salad fixings or slightly decrease the dressing (or just save it for another day!!).
