I have been making this same salad for a long time but I use walnuts instead of almonds & pears instead of onions & it's always a favorite with the family !

I substituted a Pomegranate dressing and a baby spinach mix and we loved it. I keep an assortment of nuts in the freezer, then toast what I need in the microwave. Delicious.

I made this for friends in CA and they loved it. This is the only way they will make spinach salad from now on. I did substitute pecans for the almonds since one could not eat them and it was still delicious.
