Spinach Salad

Found this recipe online...it was a huge hit with the husband and so easy to throw together!  Everyone has seemed to like it and I now make it all the time   Thought I would share...

8 ounces fresh spinach
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries (Craisins)
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds (optional)
1/2 cup feta (optional) or 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
Directions:
1. Wash and clean spinach. Tear into bit sized pieces and place in serving bowl.
2. Add half of cheese and 1/4 onion. Toss to combine.
3. Combine dressing ingredients (vinaigrette, orange juice, and orange zest) in a small mixing bowl.
4. Pour over salad and toss to coat.
5. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with Craisins and almonds. Serve immediately. 

So delicious.  Enjoy!
