For an extra touch of elegance, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for a few minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool before adding to the salad. If you're preparing the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting. Feel free to substitute other fruits or nuts based on your preference and what's in season. Blueberries, raspberries, or chopped pecans would all be delicious additions.
