Mandarin Orange & Strawberry Spinach Salad

Here's one for the adult category, since my kids won't touch salads but Matt and I love them.  Thanks Buffy for the contribution!  It sounds very healthy (iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber).  Did you know one cup of spinach only has 7 calories?  Also, I love that the dressing uses honey instead of sugar.  I can't wait to try it!

1 lb. fresh spinach
3 green onions, chopped
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cups chopped walnuts
3 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 tsp celery seed
Feta cheese

Combine all ingredients through the walnuts.

Dressing:  Beat all remaining ingredients together with a fork or mix in a blender.  Do not pour dressing over salad until ready to serve (spinach will be limp).  Sprinkle with Feta.
