SPINACH, STRAWBERRY, MANDARIN SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
This is a wonderful and refreshing salad that I got from Best of Bridge. I played around with it a bit and added a few other fresh fruits to it. This is yummy and great to offset a very rich main dish, such as my Death to Dieter's Lasagna.
