The first time I read this spinach salad recipe, I wasn't so sure about it.  I knew if I served it up to a group of women, it would go over just fine.  However, I needed for a couples Sunday night life group.  This was a group that had burly men and picky eaters all mixed in together. My rebellious side said "go for it!"  So, I made it.

IT WAS DELICIOUS! The crowd went WILD!  The picky eaters naturally picked but overall, there were no leftovers!

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED

• 2 bags of baby spinach leaves
• 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced rings
• 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries
• 1 cup honey-roasted sliced almonds
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette Dressing

Now, you can either create beautiful individual salads, or you can layer this salad in a large bowl.  Top the spinach leaves with red onion, mandarin oranges, cranberries, sliced almonds then, feta cheese.  Drizzle dressing on individual salads or allow your guests to serve themselves.

AS A LIGHT LUNCH
Add chilled and sliced, grilled chicken.

This is a beautiful salad that's fun to serve at gatherings.  The combination of ingredients does sound strange, but trust me!  This salad has a wonderful mix of flavors that will have you going back for seconds.
