Beautiful Salad image

A spur-of-the-moment creation when I wanted something with a great flavor punch and lots of color, plus quick to prepare---this one fills the bill, with baby spinach and colorful cranberries and mandarin oranges, plus the crunch of sweetened almonds and the pungent feta cheese---a new favorite at our house! You may substitute blue cheese for the feta and any kind of sweetened pecans or walnuts, if desired, for the almonds.

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of dressing and I would add some nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out really watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This salad was absolutely delicious! I used fresh, seasonal vegetables from my garden and the dressing was the perfect complement. The colors were so vibrant and it was a real feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.
