The thing I absolutely love about this salad is that it looks too fancy for the tiny bit of work that was put into it. You can substitute dried tart cherries for the cranberries. This salad can also be a complete meal when topped with goat cheese and served with crusty bread. Anyway, I think any salad served without bread is a crying shame. What the heck are you going to use to mop up every drop of that delicious dressing?

1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp sugar
4 tsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
8 oz. baby spinach
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cups sliced almonds

Combine vinegar, mustard, oil, sugar, and salt and pepper in a glass jar. Seal the lid and shake until thoroughly combined. Put the spinach, red onion, cranberries, and almonds in a bowl, drizzle dressing over the top, and toss to coat completely. Serve immediately.
