Nutty Spinach Salad image

A fellow parent on my daughters' softball team brought this salad to a team picnic - the girls, all in their mid-teens, loved it. If I take it somewhere I make it ahead by mixing the dressing ingredients in a jar, and keeping the noodles separate in a plastic bag, which allows me to toss all the ingredients right before serving and keeps the salad from getting soggy.

I love the versatility of this salad. You can easily customize it to your own taste preferences. For example, you could add some chopped bacon or avocado.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or tofu. I like to add a grilled chicken breast or some baked tofu to make it a more substantial meal.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe based on what I had on hand, and it turned out great! I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, and I added some crumbled feta cheese.
