6 cups fresh spinach leaves

1 Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced

½ cup cashews or toasted almonds

½ cup fruit-sweetened dried cranberries

½ cup golden raisins

½ small red onion, sliced in slender rings

2. To make Creamy Raspberry Curry Vinaigrette, in a small bowl blend with wire whisk:

1/3 cup Vegenaise

3 Tbsp raspberry vinegar

2 Tbsp Wax Orchards Fruit Sweet

½ tsp curry powder

3. Top each individual salad with:

Crumbled feta cheese
