Hear me out. This salad will make everyone moan in happiness. The key is in the homemade dressing. Kids, picky eaters, and veggie lovers will all be asking you how you did it.
This recipe makes enough dressing for 4-8 servings of salad, so simply pop leftover into the refrigerator and reuse as a dressing or as a marinade. Good for 1-2 weeks.

Fruity Spinach Salad with Homemade Honey-Orange Dressing
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Dressing-
1/2 cup orange juice
6 Tbsp vegetable oil or canola oil
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp paprika
Salad-
2 heaping handfuls of organic spinach, separated
1/2 cup dried cherries, cranberries, or 1 cup fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
1/2 cup toasted pecans
1 oz goat cheese, crumbled
To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a container with a tight lid and shake until the honey is thoroughly mixed in. The oil will want to separate so just re-shake slightly before dressing the salad.
Place one heaping handful of spinach in a bowl (do the same with the other handful). Top with half the fruit, half the nuts, and half of the cheese.
Just before serving, drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing over the salad.
Perfection! Sweet, crunchy, nutty, fresh, tart, and super yummy. Your mouth will thank you.
