Spinach and Citrus Salad

We are in peak citrus season and this salad is a must try.  This salad is so colorful and full of bright refreshing flavors.  The cinnamon vinaigrette adds an extra pop to this already beautiful salad. It was one of the recipes I made in my Whole30 cooking class last night and everyone loved it.
