SPINACH SALAD WITH SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING



Spinach Salad With Sweet and Sour Dressing image

One of my favorite salads. Creamy sweet-tart dressing clings easily to spinach, oranges, and red onions. I use baby spinach. You can use canned mandarin oranges, but I like the fresh oranges. Very colorful, great for a special occasion or everyday healthy treat. Everyone loves it. From Sunset Recipe Annual 1988 Edition.
