La Madeleine's Spinach Salad w/ Salmon

My friend Stratton got me hooked on La Madeleine's spinach salad w/salmon. I was hungry for this the other night and wanted to make it myself so I searched for a recipe on line.
I didn't find an exact recipe, but I found the ingredients they use and it made it taste the same. It is a really good flavor combination--we definitely liked it enough to put it on our "keeper's" list.

spinach (I also mixed in other green leaf lettuce)
fresh mushrooms (sliced)
roasted pecans
bacon
red bell pepper (thinly sliced and/or chopped)
strawberries (thinly sliced)
balsamic vinaigrette (I used Newman's lite--very good!)
salmon

In a large bowl I tossed the spinach/lettuce mix, mushrooms, pecans, (I forgot to add bacon, but I will next time!) bell pepper, & strawberries

I seasoned my salmon w/butter & Mrs Dash's garlic&herb seasoning and then baked it in the oven @ 400 degrees for 10 minutes or so, until it looked done.

I topped my salad with the salmon & the vinaigrette dressing;
it was yumm-o & healthy!
