The sweet-tangy fat-free dressing for this salad beats any low-fat raspberry vinaigrette you could buy! Ready in just 15 minutes, this side is also a great salad base for shrimp or chicken. Tons of flavor and color, from the deep green spinach to the vibrant cranberries and raspberry dressing, try serving this quick and simple dish as a starter for a dinner party. Alfalfa sprouts add texture and are really fun. Play with flavors by subbing in radish sprouts for a little heat. Blue cheese is a great partner to cranberries but other cheeses like feta will work as well.
