Spinach Salad by Toni Hunt
I got this yummy salad recipe from a friend in my former church congregation in another state.
Poppyseed Dressing
3/4 Tablespoon poppy seeds
1/3 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoon prepared mustard
The night before serving the Spinach salad, mix all ingredients well. *NOTE: Honey can be substituted for the sugar.
Spinach Salad
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1/2 head fresh spinach
3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
3/4 pound grated Swiss cheese
1 red onion, sliced
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 can Mandarin oranges
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3 Tablespoons sugar
Tear the lettuce and toss the first five ingredients together. Cook sugar and almonds together in a small pan until carmelized, stirring often to keep the sugar from burning. Arrange oranges, almonds, and bacon on top of the greens. Serve with the Poppyseed Dressing.
