rry-Spinach-Salad/Detail.aspx. I may add some feta cheese next time to bulk up the protein a bit. I also changed the sugar to splenda since I'm low-carbing. Other low carb dieters may want to cut the cranberries in half. This is delicious! Original Recipe found at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jamies-Cranbe
