Keeping with the theme of what I served for dinner when friends came, I present to you this salad.
I originally made this salad to take to family Christmas 2011. I took home an empty bowl. I thought it was so pretty in the pictures in the magazine, and you could put it together before going, and combined a whole bunch of things I loved in one bowl. Other people thought it was tasty too.
As opposed to Christmas with 25 other people, there were only 4 of us eating this Saturday night. The 6 year olds each ate 1 leaf of spinach. We had some apples and cranberries left in the bottom of the bowl with some dressing. I plan to add new spinach and almonds tomorrow to mix and stir. It will still be good.
I present to you now Kraft's Layered Jewelled Spinach Salad:

I love the sweet/salty/tart flavours in this, with the crunch of the almonds. Somehow, I managed to forget a picture once the almonds made it into the salad. Go figure. But I did take a picture of the layers.
Yum.
