This spinach salad with Boursin, candied pecans and Craisins is definitely a go-to salad for me. It is really easy and semi-homemade because the salad dressing is from a bottle. The flavors work so well together.

Spinach Salad with Boursin, Candied Pecans and Craisins
If you throw in some grilled chicken, it becomes a meal. When I make this salad, I don’t generally measure things out. I just eyeball it.
I added units of measurement to this post for those who want an exact recipe. However, if you want to make this quickly, just estimate by throwing things together in a bowl.
I like to make up a big batch of my homemade candied pecans. The recipe for this salad is “quick and easy,” and it remains convenient when I have a Ziplock bag of these candied pecans in the cupboard when it comes time to make this salad.
The candied pecans from Costco are the bomb if you want to go that route. This can be a simple lunch by cutting the recipe down, or it can be made up for large crowds on a moment’s notice. I really love Girard’s White Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing (Amazon affiliate link – I haven’t seen it in the store lately), and I know you will be pleased with it as you try this recipe also.
