Is it a Keeper

I love salads with baby spinach.  And, I love gorgonzola cheese!  This recipe started out pretty good!

The dressing was very pink!  Very sweet and very pink! It had a nice flavor, but  I think if I made this again,  I would cut back on the sugar. This dressing recipe makes a lot of dressing — about 2 full cups.

Overall, it was a nice salad with a nice raspberry flavor.  I think I’ll make it again!
