Cranberry-walnut ravioli salad

By angiej936

this power-house pasta packs nearly 1/3 your daily recommended amount of folate and almost half of your vitamin a - not to mention getting some healthy omega 3s from the olive oil and walnuts. and the creamy goat cheese? it's a tiny amount but full of flavor, which means fewer calories.

Ingredients

• 1 20-oz package whole-wheat raviloli (i love safeway select's
• asparagus & cheese - low calorie & yummy!)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries or craisens
• 6 cups raw baby spinach
• 3 oz semi-soft goat cheese
