It's a Costco recipe, Julia. Came from one of their cookbooks. Guess they have all the ingredients at the store.

Hey, CC. I'm all for taking credit where it's due, but this time, it's Costco. In fact a lot of times, it's Costco! I'm so bad, and lately I've gotten to be so lazy. Oh well, I live for thrills. Muchos gracias, toots. Here's to YOU!

Lynnda, I have a craving for Baby Spinach, so I think I'll swing by the salad bar and make them my greens. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, how I wish I could eat spinach. I love it, it doesn't love me. Too much iron. I wig out when I eat it. Rats!

I love salads like this. I sub whatever nuts I have on hand, sometimes use blue cheese, fresh strawberries or blueberries, fresh pear, or a mix. I use whatever greens I have on hand. I love a mix of spinach and baby field greens (spring mix).
I love this dressing. I'll have to give it a try. I normally use 1/3 balsamic vinegar, 2/3 olive oil on these type of salads.
