2 tablespoons red raspberry jam (with seeds)

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Arrange walnuts (or any other nut) in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in oven for 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to brown.

In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, walnuts, cranberries, blue cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
