Pecan Spinach Salad image

My family thinks this refreshing salad is sensational. Coated with a pleasant vinaigrette and topped with toasted pecans and blue cheese, it has an impressive look and taste. Though it can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, don't tell my family because they'd never believe it!

This salad is a great make-ahead salad. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bag of spinach in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

This salad was absolutely delicious! I made it for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit. The combination of sweet pecans, tangy goat cheese, and fresh spinach is perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again and again.
