This salad is so easy.  You can mix by eye depending upon how many people you are feeding.  This recipe is for four people.

One package baby spinach
1/2 cup Craisins
1/2 cup slivered almonds - I find mine in the produce section and if you prefer, you can purchase the flavored ones.  I like the oven roasted flavor.
1/4 cup creamy balsamic salad dressing
One to two large tomatoes
Goat Cheese




















Cut the tomatoes into large sections and add to skillet with Craisins, almonds, and creamy balsamic dressing.  Cook on low heat to warm items and thicken the salad dressing.

















Plate the spinach and then layer on the toppings you just prepared.  Add goat cheese and drizzle with more creamy balsamic dressing and serve while tomatoes are still warm.

Warm Tomato and Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese
After I had a salad at Periwinkles Restaurant, in Essex, MA., I just had to go home and re-create it. 
Here is my version.
