MY FAVORITE SPINACH SALAD



My Favorite Spinach Salad image

This salad taught me to love spinach! The dressing is WONDERFUL. I also love it on a lettuce salad topped with dried cranberries, pecans and crumbled bleu cheese.

Categories     Spinach

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch fresh spinach
4 -8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

5 -6 slices bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar or 3/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup good quality olive oil (no substitutes)

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • To prepare dressing, warm wine vinegar slightly.
  • Add sugar and stir to dissolve.
  • (If you prefer a tangier dressing, reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup.) If you don't warm the vinegar, you will have trouble getting the sugar to dissolve.

  • Stir well.
  • Add olive oil and blend.
  • I prefer to put it in a bottle and shake it.
  • Pour over salad and enjoy!
