"This is one of the Zaar recipes that I adopted. I prepared this salad to accompany Recipe #7088 for a very elegant meal. The honey mustard dressing compliments the fruit and spinach wonderfully. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe as much as my family did!"

Very delicious! Served this for St. Patrick's dinner last night. Switched out green grapes for red grapes and green Granny Smith apple and kiwi for the papaya in keeping with the "theme". Love the easy dressing-I agree it does complement the fruit nicely! I still want to try this with the other fruit sometime though! Thank you for posting the recipe! cg ;)

Served this with some spicy black bean burgers and it was superb! Made just as written and had a great low calorie and delicious meal. Thanks!

I made this with mangoes and red grapes and my husband, who hates salad, just loved it. I liked the contrast between the sweet fruit and the tart dressing. We will be enjoying this salad again and again.
