This dressing is a little rich, so I suggest to serve this salad as a main meal only, you can add in some cooked chicken breast, shrimp or sliced hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle with bacon bits. This salad is better than any you will get at a restaurant, if you are a salad lover, you will love this! To make things easier purchase a package of fresh ready-to-use spinach.
