One of my very favorite restaurants here in Portland is called Seasons and Regions. It has wonderful seafood, great service and they have the best spinach salad with a soy ginger dressing. I have tried to recreate it at home and think I've done a pretty good job. I love the sweet oranges with the tart cranberries and crunchy almonds. The soy ginger dressing ties all the flavors together nicely. My entire family, kids included, loved this salad.
