Spinach Basil Salad with Pine Nut Dressing image

This I had years ago at Woodrow's Bar and Restaraunt. I wrote for the recipe and got it!! It's fabulous!! I've also made it with grilled chicken and served it on top for a Heartier Meal!! It's refreshing in the summer with fresh basil out of the garden.

Overall, this was a good salad. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes to the dressing.

The dressing was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner, more pourable dressing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory dressing.

I wasn't sure about the combination of spinach and basil, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors worked really well together. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought pine nut dressing and it was still delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This salad was absolutely delicious! The pine nut dressing was the perfect complement to the fresh spinach and basil. I also loved the addition of the dried cranberries and feta cheese. This salad is definitely a keeper!
