Baby Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
From EatingWell: June/July 2006, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Salad is a great way to increase your family's fruit and vegetable consumption—the challenge is getting your children (or picky eaters) to enjoy it. We've found that a simple, slightly sweet dressing like our Raspberry Vinaigrette, tossed with mild-flavored greens, such as baby spinach, fruit and your family's favorite vegetables can convince most everyone to take a bite.
