Salads are wonderfully healthy addition to any meal, as long as they are not drenched in processed, fattening dressing. Making your own dressing can seem like too much time and effort, but this dressing is a snap to make. When you make your own salad dressing, it tastes better and it is healthier because there are no added chemicals and you control the salt and sugar. Once you make this, you will never want to waste your money on store-bought poppyseed dressing again. This spinach salad is fast, easy, and delicious.
Poppyseed dressing:
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 Tbs agave nectar

Spinach Salad:
6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
3-4 button mushrooms, chopped
1/4 cup sliced almonds
