SPINACH AND CLEMENTINE SALAD WITH DRIED TART CHERRIES
From www.aicr.com. Clementines can be both expensive and difficult to find as they are only available November through March. Substitute tangerines-honey tangerines being particulatiry good, if you cannot find them. Here is what I found online about the fruit: "Clementines are the tiniest of the mandarins. Imported from Spain, Morocco, and other parts of North Africa, clementines are a cross between a sweet orange and a Chinese mandarin. They are small, very sweet, and usually seedless. Most people think of clementines as small tangerines, but they're a different variety entirely, with a distinctive taste".(SOURCE:www.producepete.com/shows/clementines.html

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young spinach leaves. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
- If you don't have dried cherries on hand, you can substitute another dried fruit, such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots.
- To add a bit of crunch to the salad, try adding some chopped walnuts or almonds.
- If you're feeling adventurous, you can also add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese to the salad.
- For a lighter dressing, use a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
- If you want a more creamy dressing, try using a mayonnaise-based dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, so the spinach doesn't wilt.
