1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, honey and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.

2. Place the spinach leaves in a large salad bowl.

3. Drain the mandarin orange sections well and set aside.

4. Slice the strawberries and bananas, keeping the banana slices separate until serving so they do not brown.

5. Add the strawberries, mandarin orange sections, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to the spinach.

6. Just before serving, add the sliced bananas to the bowl.

7. Drizzle about half the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.

8. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.
