The tangy dressing for this refreshing salad has the right sweet-tart balance to suit my taste-and others who try it agree! Orange sections are a pretty contrast to the greens, and the bacon adds a crisp accent. -Kathy Schrecengost Oswego, New York

SPINACH SALAD WITH ORANGE VINAIGRETTE
Saw this on Everyday Italian and went out and got the ingredients right away because i saw it and was craving it. My boyfriend loves this too, he ate almost the whole batch of salad by himself. This recipe makes ALOT of dressing so you can probably use just half of what the recipe calls for or save the dressing to use on another batch of salad.

STRAWBERRY AND SPINACH SALAD WITH HONEY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!
