WOW! This is one great salad. I am not a huge fan of spinach, but the flavor the dressing adds to the spinach is to die for. A little heat from the horseradish makes all the difference!<\/p>
I always make enough for left overs, to have as a quick, healthy lunch. After storing the dressing in a canning jar, I shake to mix it, and store leftovers in the fridge. When eating leftover, I just warm the jar in the microwave a few seconds, to get the sugar mixed again, and in seconds I have a wonderful lunch! Cant stress how great this salad is.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"ce9bf29ab52545889a46a8802b83becd","MemberId":3613382,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"SnnysAngl03","SubmittedDate":"04\/12\/2009 23:15"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"08\/24\/2008 09:12","GUID":"33590c6bc89849bda93041ff1fa71a54","MemberId":1331524,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sunneedayz","SubmittedDate":"08\/24\/2008 09:12"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"02\/11\/2007 14:28","GUID":"c9877620f49f4a029fd25ba6de0c3a0e","MemberId":1306724,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Corisa","SubmittedDate":"02\/11\/2007 14:28"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"09\/12\/2006 07:13","GUID":"60317e56ba6441f7a015e5b19e99d78c","MemberId":1508275,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sherryvance","SubmittedDate":"09\/12\/2006 07:13"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
