Found this recipe on the back of a spinach bag and loved it! I combined only the spinach and dressing first, plated it and added the rest of the salad ingredients. Recipe said to add salt and pepper to taste. I did nor add any.

Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different salad dressings. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. There are many different recipes available online.
If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to dress the salad just before serving.
