I got this recipe from my friend Marlo. Anything that comes from her house is YUM! So I knew it would be a winner! I made a few minor changes : I used a spring mix lettuce (I couldn't find baby spinach). I sugared walnuts in the Microwave instead of sugared almonds. (I burt my almonds on the stove, and only had walnuts left. I wasn't sad though they were yummy!) Anyway it turned out pretty good! Give it a try, you won't be sad.
