We've used this dreamily elegant, gourmet orange spinach salad for that very
purpose too many times to count. It is righteously worthy of such an honor,
too.
This salad is one that doesn't need a lot of explanation,
friends, so just read the ingredients and you will see what we mean.

If you like taking hard to find wines with you to fulfill
your part of the dinner when you are the guest, consider joining the
American Cellars Wine Club. Assuming you live in a state that "allows"
you to have wine shipped in, you'll find that
ACWC picks tasting panel, highly rated wines from small domestic and
international wineries. It's great fun. We look forward to the shipments
every month and would love to see you gain the same enjoyment (if the law
allows).
