Winter Spinach Salad

Last week was the final harvest of spinach out of the high tunnel before tearing it out to prepare for spring planting (maybe next week if the weather cooperates)! I needed a good salad recipe that would utilize the spinach, plus the onions and garlic I still had stored over winter. This recipe fit the bill, and I took it to a potluck and didn’t return with much left!
