Spinach and Mango Salad image

An out of this world salad that will have your dinner guests begging for the recipe. It is also versatile - summer berries are a nice alternative. I wouldn't normally tout a brand, but the only company I know that makes maple flavored balsamic vinegar is Wildly Delicious in their distinct tall blue bottles.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this salad has changed my mind. The mango and poppy seed dressing really balance out the bitterness of the spinach. I'll definitely be making this again.

Absolutely fantastic! The combination of spinach, mango, and poppy seed dressing is a winner. I also added some grilled chicken for extra protein, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
