Even folks who don't care for spinach enjoy this distinctive salad. The creamy dressing is a bit sweet, and cottage cheese assures that this dish is extra hearty and satisfying. We love the unusual combination of ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, torn
  • 1-1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

Directions

  1. In a large serving bowl, layer half of the spinach, cottage cheese and pecans. Repeat layers. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat.
