Directions

Spray non-stick skillet with vegetable cooking spray; stir fry pork strips until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.

In large serving bowl, toss spinach, watercress, celery, grapes, green onion, water chestnuts, and apples; toss to mix.

In small saucepan, combine salad dressing, mustard, and brown sugar; heat just until brown sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Stir cooked pork into hot dressing to coat well.
