Spinach Salad

For a simple salad, this one is always hit. It's served with a homemade dressing the most everyone seems to love. As with most salads, some of the ingredient amounts are just approximates. Do what looks tasty to you.

-----

Salad:
1 bag spinach
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 grated hard boiled eggs
5 crumbled strips of crispy bacon
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 medium red onion (rings, not diced)

Toss. :)


Dressing:
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 grated white onion
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Throw all ingredients into a blender. Blend on medium until well blended. This will make more dressing than necessary for the salad above. You can serve it on the side. But we usually toss in just enough to lightly coat the spinach.

Sounds good, but for GF, you have to watch the Worcestershire sauce. Unfortunately, not all are gluten-free.

Thanks for the heads up on the Worcestershire sauce. I always double check all my stuff and I must just have the right kind of sauce.
