Summer Spinach Salad

This is my all time favorite salad, and a staple of my sister's.  So even though I can't take credit for it, I though every one of you should have it.  We all crave a good old fashioned salad every once in awhile, so here is the spiced up version!  Enjoy!


Spinach and Fruit Summer Salad 
(serves about 4)
Ingredients
10 oz bag of fresh spinach
1-2 chicken breasts, grilled and thinly sliced
1 pint of strawberries, sliced
1 pint of blueberries
4-5 kiwis, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 oz crumbled feta cheese** (or crumble some yourself)
**substitute for another cheese if desired

Dressing:
2/3 cup oil (I use extra virgin olive oil...use what you like)
4 Tbs. Balsamic Vinegar
6 Tbs. Strawberry Jam  (or any berry variety)
1 1/2 Tbs. poppyseeds
1/4 tsp salt

Directions
Mix all the ingredients minus the chicken.  With the dressing whisk everything together in a bowl and then pour of the salad and toss, and then lay your chicken on top, sliced up to make it pretty!  :)
