Simple Spinich Salad

as adapted from Allrecipes.com

1 6oz package fresh baby spinach
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup real bacon bits (we didn't use this )
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (we didn't use this)
1/4 cup chopped red onion (we used chives)


Dressing
1/3 cup mayo
1/4 cup sugar
2 T red wine vinegar
(we actually didn't make the dressing - we used Kraft Raspberry Vinaigrette)

This picture was taken just before the salad was tossed.

Both my husband and I really enjoyed this salad.  The best part for both of us was surprisingly - the raisins!!  We think they added a nice touch!  Mr Picky griped and groaned and just poked at his salad.  Miss Almost Vegetarian picked out and ate all the raisins and cucumber.  We would make this again!
