Recipe View Drizzle with poppyseed dressing and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing if needed, but be careful not to oversaturate the salad. Serve immediately for the best texture. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat instead of in the oven.
If you don't have poppyseed dressing, a light vinaigrette or a honey-mustard dressing also works well.
To add a savory element, crumble some goat cheese or feta cheese over the salad.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If making ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.
