SPINACH SALAD WITH ORANGES + DRESSING



Spinach Salad With Oranges + Dressing image

I regularly get monthly newsletters from "Taste of Home" and yesterday this recipe was posted there. I really liked the ingredients that were in the dressing, sort of a sweet-tart combination so decided to make it and was very pleased with the results. Homemade dressings are so much more appealing than the store bought ones. I doubled the dressing recipe so there would be extra for tomorrow.
