Citrussy Vinaigrette

I like to use fruit juice or nectar in my salad dressings. I guess that's my deal. It really seems to work, so I wanted to try another variation on the theme. I tried this vinaigrette on a salad of spinach leaves, fresh pomegranate seeds and segmented oranges. I should have added some toasted nuts, but didn't have any on hand. While spinach leaves are fairly cheap, I must say that it's never a bad idea to spend an extra few bucks for baby spinach, since it's more tender and therefore easier to chew.
