as you well know, things have been a little hectic here lately.  after several weeks of eating quick, and sometimes unhealthy meals, i have been on a real spinach kick.  i’ve been trying to have a big salad for lunch most days, and this one has become my go-to.  mom, thanks for reminding me about this one.

spinach and strawberry salad {with a few extras}

• large handful of baby spinach
• 4 – 6 strawberries, sliced thinly
• 6 – 8 slices of mandarin oranges {i just used canned}
• slivered almonds, toasted
• craisins
• raspberry viniagrette
