Classic Spinach Salad

“Oh, it’s a classic spinach salad then.” “Um, yes, I guess so.”

That was the conversation between me and my husband last night as I was explaining to him what was in the salad, that I had made it before, that he had really liked it, etc. The original name of the recipe is “Bermuda Spinach Salad”, but I think he disagrees with that. So I’ve renamed it “Classic Spinach Salad”. So. Original.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2-3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 3/4-1 pound spinach
  • 2-3 tbsp croutons even better if they're homemade!
  • 2 mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3 1/2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. Once cool, peel and chop.
  • Prepare the dressing in the blender by combining the onion, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar, pepper, celery seed and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth.
  • Place spinach in a bowl, top with eggs, bacon, croutons and mushrooms. Pour enough dressing over salad to lightly coat. Toss and serve.
