Spinach Salad - Jillian

By gstark

Ingredients

• 2 bunches of spinach
• 1 head of lettuce (I use green leaf)
• 3 c. grated swiss cheese
• 1 container cottage cheese
• 1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3/4 c. sliced mushrooms (fresh)
• 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly
• Dressing
• 1/2 to 1 c. oil (I use canola oil)
• The original recipe called for 1 1/2 c. oil…I’ve just always found that to be too much!
• 3/4 c. red wine vinegar
• 3/4 t. dry mustard
• 1 1/2 T. poppy seeds
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 1/2 t. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Wash & dry spinach and lettuce. Take stems off spinach, cut up lettuce. Place in large enough bowl to toss in. (This is a BIG salad!) Add swiss cheese, cottage cheese, bacon, mushrooms & red onion. Toss with dressing. Serve immediately! (Don’t toss with cottage cheese and dressing until just before serving or it will get soggy.)
