Easy Cran-Raspberry Spinach Salad

Here's another very easy salad recipe for one of those busy weekday evenings when everyone's hungry and you need something fast.

Recipe:
1 6-ounce package fresh baby spinach or the amount needed for your family
1/4 cup dried cranberries, more or less to your taste
1/4 cup broken pecan pieces, more or less to your taste
Raspberry Pecan Fat-Free Salad Dressing or your favorite

Tear spinach leaves into bite-size pieces, if desired. (I prefer to do this because I don't like spinach stems hanging out of my mouth.)
Add desired amount of cranberries and pecans and toss salad with dressing. Adding other kinds of lettuce to the spinach also makes for a wonderful variation.

Packaged honey glazed almond slices or candied pecans also work great, and drained mandarin orange slices in place of the cranberries are a nice addition.
