Healthy spinach with mango and strawberry salad

As I am still trying to lose baby weight, I decided to make this salad as a healthy lunch option. Not only is it very healthy, it is also deliscious. This recipe is from Annabel Karmel...

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:
2 tbsp pine nuts
75 g baby spinach or mixed salad leaves
25 g peeled and diced red onion
1 small or 1/2 a large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
5 strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tbsp dried cranberries

Dressing:
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:
1. Heat a dry frying pan and toast the pine nuts, continuously stirring for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Combine all the other salad ingredients.
3. Make the dressing by whisking together the dressing ingredients and adding salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss the salad with the dressing and sprinkle the pine nuts over the top.
