Serving suggestions: This dressing is great on spinach salads. A little bit goes a long way. Tear fresh spinach or other salad greens into a large bowl or onto individual salad plates. Slice some oranges, peaches or strawberries and marinate in a small amount of dressing for a few minutes, then place fruit on top of spinach. Sprinkle with feta or parmesan cheese, red onion rings and croutons, and add a little more dressing. Dried cranberries and/or toasted nuts make a nice additional topping, too.
