Depending on what I'm serving them with, I decide whether…	4 votes 1 review 1 comment 4681 views
	Spinach Salad with Avocado and Toasted Almonds by John Spottiswood Creamy, crunchy, spicy and sweet, this salad covers all the flavor bases and provides a wonderful base for the linked Ginger Sesame Salmon recipe. It's beautiful too.	4 votes 1 review 4 comments 4931 views
