This certainly is different from other spinach salads we have tried before. No one here really cared for the combination of flavors- especially the ginger with the avocado. We think it might be better if the avocado were left out and something else used instead, but everyone has their own personal tastes. However, thanks for sharing. ~Sue -

I really enjoyed this salad since I've never made one with oranges. Very nice. I did adjust the dressing by doubling the vegetable oil and rice vinegar and adding a couple of tsp of splenda. My dinner guest really liked this. Thanks ellie for a keeper

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
