  1. Good dressing. Hubby doesn't like vinaigrettes very much, so the sour cream made this acceptable to him. It still tastes like balsamic, but the sugar and cream misty take out the tang. I served over romaine, apples, craisins, carrots, and hard-boiled eggs.
     
  2. A simple salad with a very nice dressing. The craisins and pecans add special flavor. If you are going to serve the dressing on the side, I recommend serving the craisins & nuts on the side, too. Without the dressing mixed in, the add-ins just fall to the bottom of the bowl.
     
  3. Everyone raved about this when I made it. My Dad said, "I am not a salad guy, but this is great!". My husband doesn't like spinach or craisins and ate it up. I make it with real sugar, and a good balsamic.
     
  4. We loved this recipe and will use it again. The nuts and craisins added just the right flavour and texture to the spinach.
     
  5. I love this recipe! The dressing is so good. I made it to go with some salmon I baked, it was perfect. I used sugar in mine and it wasn't to sweet for us. The craisins add enough tartness to off set the sweetness in the dressing.
