YES!!! It was wonderful. I am eating it as I type, and although I eat a spinach salad almost every night, this is the best, with the best raspberry vinaigrette that I have tried! Thanks!
Donna, I do not know if you are the person who compiled all the recipes on the right side but they are a terrific selection. I have become bored with the meals I make and was looking for relatively easy healthy new recipes and I am really excited about a lot of these - thank you !!!
