Story

Whenever you match sweet berries up with savory ingredients, the sweetness is magnified. That's the case with this fabulous salad.

Marinading the berries in the vinaigrette dressing causes the berries to create a nice, rich, deeply flavored sauce that makes a wonderful dressing for the spinach.

Be sure to use fresh spinach. Wash and dry it well so your dressing doesn't become watered down. Enjoy this salad as a main course or as a side for grilled meat, fish, or poultry. Grilled or roasted duck is especially delicious paired with this salad.
