This salad is a family favorite at our house.  It’s actually one of the only salad’s I’ll eat!  My husband (the veggie eater in this relationship) loves it, of course.  In fact all the kids like it, although The Reader requests it the most.

this salad is so good I bribe my kids with it!  Everyone who tries it loves it, the great toppings and flavorful dressing are always a huge hit

In fact we’ve been known to BRIBE her with it.  “If you eat your …(insert something not nearly as good for her here)…  you can have more salad”.  True!  The spinach salad itself is easy to layer and prepare and the home made vinaigrette dressing really makes it!

Vinaigrette-Dressing
Not only is the dressing tasty, but it’s PINK!  It’s so pretty and a fun color added to the table!  It makes a lot more dressing than you’ll need and it does keep in the fridge, BUT the pretty pink color fades.

Spinach-Salad-Vinaigrette-Dressing
You can add more or less of whatever you want in the salad layers.  I usually have a few extra hard boiled eggs on hand because my kids love them so much.  But the leftovers of the salad always has all the good filling left!  What is our favorite dressing or salad?

      thank you so much! It’s pretty much the only salad I eat, I’m not usually a salad fan, but this is the exception.
