Spinach Salad with a Pineapple Balsamic Vinaigrette

On my quest to make my own salad dressing, I have become obsessed with buying different types of olive oils and balsamic vinegars.  My last shopping trip, I bought a pineapple balsamic vinegar that would be a perfect base for salad dressings. With this salad dressing, I decided against using yogurt so I could leave it out on the counter for several days without it going bad.  This is such an easy recipe that makes any salad combination awesome!
