Ingredients: Spinach Salad


8 ounces young spinach

8 pieces thick-sliced bacon, chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


4 large white mushrooms, sliced

Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.


Place the eggs into an electric kettle and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Turn the kettle on. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle will turn itself off. Leave the eggs in the water for 15 minutes. Remove and peel off the shell. Slice each egg into 8 pieces and set aside.


While the eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.

My mother passed this one to me and it always went over big:





Take 3 hard boiled eggs and separate the yolks and the whites. Mix the yolks mashed up with 3-4 heaping tablespoons of salad dressing or mayonaise. Add some milk to make a creamy pourable consistancy. Add a little mustard to add a more yellow color. Sprinkle in sugar until it tastes good to you. Pour dressing over lettuce, onions, and diced egg whites. Can add sliced or diced cucumber if desired.





Sorry I can't be specific with measurements....you know how handed down recipes are. But this is a great salad.
Cook a bit of chicken marinated in zesty italian dressing. Tear it into bits and add to your salad. If you enjoy oranges or pears throw some of those in as well.


Enjoy.
