We served this at our most recent Family Reunion. It's hard to go wrong with Bacon, Eggs, Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheeses. This recipe makes enough dressing for 2 large bags of spinach, so you might want to halve it, or save half for another salad. It will last in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Dressing:
2 T Honey
2 T White Vinegar
1/4 C Vegetable Oil (I use Canola)
2 tsp Diced Onions
1 T Dijon Mustard
1/3 C Mayonaise
Combine ingredients in a shaker jar and allow to refrigerate at least an hour.
Salad:
1 large bag Baby Spinach
8 Slices of Crumbled Bacon (I use the pre-cooked bacon you can get at Costco. A large crumbled bag for $8. I keep it in my fridge and use it in salads and soups for several months.)
Grated Parmesan Cheese (Fresh is best, but the stuff from the green jar isn't too shabby for this recipe)
Grated Mozzarella Cheese (I also buy this at Costco in bulk. Mozzarella cheese freezes well (according to America's Test Kitchen AND me) and I save a lot of money by dividing it into separate bags instead of purchasing the smaller ones at the grocery store)
2-4 Sliced Hard Boiled Eggs.
Toss and Serve. People will want seconds.
heck yes they will want seconds. I almost bought the GIANT thing of spinach today at Costco just to make a GIANT spinach salad but I held back. I am still craving it. Thanks for lunch!
ReplyDeleteYumma- made it for dinner tonight. Only 2 people flatly rejected it. I call that a victory. :)
