SPINACH SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE

Spinach Salad With Gorgonzola Cheese image

This is just a wonderful salad with a great combination of flavors with the sweetness of the fruit and the tartness of the dressing and cheese. It is a spin-off of LonghornMama's Fruit 'n' Veggie Salad which is also a great salad. I made this again for my Easter weekend meal and added about 1/2 cup of dried bananas to it and would highly recommend doing that in the original recipe. :)
