The first thing that you'll notice about this salad is that it tastes amazing. It also doesn't hurt that spinach is an extremely nutrient-dense food. The recipe calls for raspb
erry vinegar, which is a flavorful and refreshing alternative to traditional, oily dressing. The fruit and nuts add flavor, fiber and healthy fat.
