I've always loved eating spinach—it's grown here in our area. When I saw an announcement of a spinach cooking contest, I made up this recipe to enter. I was delighted when my colorful, tangy salad took the grand prize! —Emily Fields, Santana, California

Flavor was not good. Curry was strong as was the taste of oil.

best spinach salad EVER

Recipes are just a guide and you make them to your own taste. Excellent as it stands. Tried it as is but then cut the oil. Thank you Emily. This is a winner. Top the salad with thin slices of grilled smoked duck breast and you have a main course to die for

Simple and good!

We liked this recipe but the dressing has way too much canola oil for our tastes. I couldn't even taste the red wine vinegar and it has a strong flavor. This salad is very healthy and will try it again with less oil!

Sounds good but what exactly is "seasoned" pepper? Would love to make this!

I have used half iceberg and half spinach. This dressing is very good and I love the curry, garlic additions. Very, very nice.

This recipe is not new. A couple of small changes is all it took.
