  • Loved it. Was looking for a way to used kumquats from my tree. I was doubtful the dressing would have much flavor, but the dressing makes the salad! I also was doubtful that there would be enough dressing, but it was more than enough for the 8 oz of spinach I used. I used the sliced mushrooms, and they added good texture, so would not recommend leaving them out of the salad. Only change I made was to add some avocado and feta cheese. This is definitely a keeper. If you're looking for Spinach Salad with Oriental Dressing this the recipe.

  • I'm a huge fan of kumquats and what a wonderful way to use them. Made the full recipe for 2 large lunch salads. Added shredded chicken, as well. Chock full of all things good for you. Still have kumquats on the tree so will be making this again this weekend.

  • Definitely use the mushrooms, they make this salad feel like a real meal. You can serve as 4 side salads or as a main for one (possibly two people with a soup or bread on the side). It's fresh-tasting, yet hearty, with an Asian twist.

  • I have no idea how much spinach in a 5-oz package. I will guess and hope for the best.

  • Super easy way to use the last of the kumquats. I thought the mushrooms added a lot too.
