I'm not a big fan of raspberries, so I used strawberries instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is so refreshing and light, perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. I love the contrast of the sweet raspberries and tangy dressing with the slightly bitter spinach.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of spinach, raspberries, and candied walnuts was unique and delicious. The dressing was also perfect - tangy and flavorful without being too heavy.
