This salad is so refreshing and flavorful! The spinach is crisp and the fruit is sweet and juicy. The spicy honey dressing is the perfect finishing touch. I love that I can make this salad ahead of time and it still tastes great the next day.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The dressing was really good and the fruit and nuts added a nice crunch. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
