There is nothing better than a cool crisp salad and this recipe is one of my favorites. I toss red leaf lettuce with spinach, top with fruit and sliced avocado. Then drizzle with my favorite curry dressing and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Easy, delicious and a family favorite. This is equally delicious topped with cooked chicken for a wonderful main dish for lunch or dinner.
