Spinach Strawberry Mandarin Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing

This is a wonderful and refreshing salad that i got from best of bridge. I played around with it a bit and added a few other fresh fruits to it. This is yummy and great to offset a very rich main dish, such as my death to dieter's lasagna.
