    Yum! I love a good spinach salad. Plus, anything that doesn't involve actual cooking is all right by me. *grin*

    I am not experimental when it comes to salads. Don't know what my problem is because I like when other people make them. And this one sounds wonderful and healthy. I should just do it! (just remembered though, I must be one of the only people in the world who doesn't own an blender or food processor). Okay, step one...go to WalMart!

    Since I practically live on salads during this time of year, I'll give this a go to get some variety! Thanks.

      Lee, and you can add sunflower or pumpkin seeds, sliced hard-boiled egg, croutons and cheese to get a complete meal. Salads are great that way. We eat them all summer long.

    That salad looks really good. I like onions in particular. I just wish I had a blender, but then again my kitchen counter is so tiny there isn't room for one.

    This is interesting. I've not tried orange in my dressing before. Neat idea.
