{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Cranberry Spinach Salad Recipe

 


    Cranberry Spinach Salad Recipe



This recipe started out as a summer salad with raspberries. I came up with this holiday version when I was putting together the menu for my first Thanksgiving dinner. I sometimes serve it on individual salad plates instead of in a big bowl.

This recipe is:

Quick





    * 6-8 Servings
    * Prep/Total Time: 10 min.


Ingredients

    * 1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach
    * 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    * 1/2 to 3/4 cup dried cranberries
    * 1/3 cup olive oil
    * 3 tablespoons sugar
    * 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    * 1 tablespoon sour cream
    * 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard


Directions

    * In a large bowl, combine the spinach, pecans and cranberries. In a bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 6-8 servings.
