It's fresh tasting and VERY healthy! You can substitute other fruit such as strawberries or blueberries for the grapes, or other types of melon.

This salad was a refreshing and delicious twist on a classic spinach salad. The combination of sweet fruit, tangy dressing, and crunchy nuts was perfect. I will definitely be making this again!
