    i tried this …it’s very tasty. I don’t use store bought dressing being onion and garlic. Can you post some more salad and soup recipe with homemade dressing and without onion garlic too.

    This is one of my favourites! I’d never thought I would like something which contains both spinach and apples… and actually I loved it and I prepare it often. The walnut dressing is exquisite. Thanks a lot!
