Spinach, toasted almonds and bits of dried cranberries are tossed together in a bowl and dressed with a sweet and tangy vinegar and oil dressing full of sesame and poppy seeds.
Almonds take the place of raisins in this one, and apples are also featured. Lemon juice and a big dollop of honey make this a sweet, sweet salad. Serve chilled.
A hint of balsamic vinegar gives a fresh taste to this simple side shared by Glenda Malan. 'Sliced almonds dress up green beans tastefully when company's coming,' she relates from Lake Forest, California. 'I can't think of an entree this dish doesn't complement.'
