One of my favorite salads and easy to make!
Delicious salad! My friend made it for an office party. She omitted the celery, but added crumbled bacon. It was a huge hit! The dressing is not too sweet. The ingredients are the perfect blend of sweet and tangy.
This is my favorite spinach salad! It is soooo good!
I've made this salad several times. It's always a big hit when I make it. Everyone loves it!
