Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the spinach.Tear the spinach into bite size pieces and place in a salad bowl.
Next make the honey glazed pecans. Mix half a cup of pecan pieces with about 2 teaspoons of honey. Spread the pecans on a foil lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the pecans to cool.
In a small bowl combine the citrus juices, vinegar, cumin, salt and zest. Whisk these ingredients continuously while slowly adding the olive oil. You will end up with about 1/3 cup of vinaigrette.
Add the vinaigrette to the salad and toss until the spinach is well coated.
Top each serving with dried cranberries, honey glazed pecans and crumbled goat cheese.
