Baby spinach leaves get jazzed up with this simple, homemade salad dressing. Walnuts, bacon bits and pomegranate seeds make this attractive salad a regular on my holiday menus.—JoAnn Scannell, Dubuque, Iowa
Ingredients:
3/4 cup fat-free french salad dressing
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 teaspoon paprika
6 cups fresh baby spinach
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup cubed avocado
3 slices red onion, separated into rings
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Directions:
1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the salad dressing, orange juice, honey and paprika; shake well. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.
2. In a salad bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Serve with dressing. Yield: 8 servings.
