Spinach and Bell Pepper Salad

This salad was created entirely based on the great sales on produce at Kroger. For whatever reason, organic baby spinach was $1.79 a pound. This is an amazing deal, especially when you are hosting a party for 12. Red, yellow and orange bell peppers were also on sale for $1 each. This entire salad was made for under $5 for 12 servings, you cannot beat that! Everyone raved about the salad, the sweetness of the peppers contrasted beautifully with the bite from the dijon vinagretter.
