SPINACH, STRAWBERRY, MANDARIN SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
This is a wonderful and refreshing salad that I got from Best of Bridge. I played around with it a bit and added a few other fresh fruits to it. This is yummy and great to offset a very rich main dish, such as my Death to Dieter's Lasagna.

SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
I like this salad because it isn't fruity like many spinach salads out there. My cousin always brings this to family dinners and everybody loves it, even the ones that don't like spinach! Be sure to make the dressing the night before! The original recipe called for 1 lb. of swiss cheese. I think that's a bit much and usually make it with 1/2 lb.
