Wilted Spinach Salad Recipe









I found this awesome spinach salad recipe...mmmmm so go and easy! Had tuna salad stuffed in pita bread with spinach leaves and tomoato.

The heated bacon dressing wilts the spinach leaves and gives this salad a wonderfully delicate flavor.
Ingredients:

•10 to 12 ounces fresh spinach, washed and torn into bit-size pieces
•1/4 cup minced red onion
•5 to 6 radishes, thinly sliced
•2 hard-cooked eggs, 1 chopped, 1 sliced
•2 to 4 slices bacon
•1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons bacon drippings
•1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
•3 tbsp. vinegar
•1 tbsp. water
•1/2 tsp. salt
•1/8 tsp. pepper

Preparation:
Place prepared spinach in a large bowl. Add onions and radishes. Refrigerate, tightly covered. Fry or microwave bacon until crisp; remove to paper towel and set aside. In a small jar or measuring cup combine drippings with sugar, vinegar, water, salt and pepper. Refrigerate all ingredients until just before serving. When ready to serve, microwave the dressing on HIGH for 30 to 45 seconds, or until mixture boils. Toss the chopped egg with the greens then pour the hot dressing over greens mixture; toss again lightly. Top with sliced egg and crumbled bacon.
Serves 6.
