I have made this very salad many times, it is sooooo good. So I changed the name and added pix. I love baby spinach in salads, and fruit just adds to the flavor. Then using garlic from my garden is a plus. Now add the vinaigrrette...oh my!!! I've added an option to use strawberries and pecans (along with all the other ingredients) instead of the mandrain orange segments. Just give it a try, either option, I think you'll like it, I sure do.
