  1. I have made this recipe for years. I got it from a friend who was in a gourmet group with me. It is simple to put together but a very elegant recipe. I make it every Easter when we get together with a group of friends. I would suggest making the dressing the day before and let the flavors marinate together. Also, don't pour the dressing on until you are ready to serve it. The spinach will wilt quicker and the flavor of the dressing will over power the salad.

  3. Don't even think about substituting bottled dressing for this lovely dressing. As suggested before, I made the dressing a day early. The flavors were well blended and delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely salad. Thanks for sharing your aunt's recipe.
     
  4. Good salad...I especially liked the water chestnuts and bean sprouts on it...the dressing was very good. I made it with splenda. I am sure I will make it often...
