BEST EVER SPINACH SALAD



Best Ever Spinach Salad image

A co-worker made this heart-healthy salad for a pot luck lunch and I couldn't believe how delicious it was. I made it for a family bbq a few weeks later and it received rave reviews. It has just a few ingredients and is simple to make. Dressing can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.
