I'm not sure just what I like the most about this salad, the fresh baby spinach, the sweet, juicy blueberries, the pungent bleu cheese, or the toffee-like crunch of the candied pecans. Whatever it is, this salad is a can't-stop-eating-it winner.
Based upon a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com, my version has a
slightly sweeter, more complex dressing that really brings everything together. Easy enough for every day, it is also elegant enough for company. This salad can't miss.
Not a fan of bleu cheese? Substitute an equal amount of feta.

For Vinaigrette

2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
Combine ingredients in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, and
shake it, baby, shake it.
For Salad
1 pound fresh baby spinach
1 pint fresh blueberries
4 ounces crumbled bleu cheese
1 recipe candied pecans
Toss salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Drizzle with
dressing to taste. Serve immediately.
