Most delicious spinach salad #2

• 2-3 cups spinach
  
• one ripe pear (Bartlett or Anjou are good varieties)
  
• a handful of sweetened dried cranberries
  
• a handful of unsalted cashew nuts
  
• poppy seed dressing (Brianna's is our favorite brand)

Fill two salad bowls with spinach. Slice up a pear into bite-sized chunks and divide evenly between the two bowls. Top each with a sprinkling of dried cranberries and cashews. Top with poppy seed dressing.

Laura's Notes: I am unable to find unsalted cashews at the grocery store where I shop, so I just rinse the salted cashews in water before putting them on the salad. This makes a very pretty Christmas salad because of the red, green, and ivory colors of the salad. You could also substitute pomegranate seeds for the dried cranberries.
