Spinach Salad


8 ounces young spinach


2 large eggs


8 pieces thick-sliced bacon, chopped


3 tablespoons red wine vinegar


1 teaspoon sugar


1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard


Ingredients Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


4 large white mushrooms, sliced


3 ounces red onion (1 small), very thinly sliced


Directions Spinach


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.


Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper.


Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper and serve immediately.

_____________


Canned fruit cocktail-- any type-- drained but save the juice.


Mandarin oranges


small marshmallows


marischino cherries for color


shredded coconut if wanted--


fresh seedless grapes cut in half


banana slices but wait to the last minute to add


sour cream one large(16 oz)-- add half and decide if you want more.





I have used any other mixed fruit in a can you want to cut up any large pieces-- peaches for instance-- there is a ';tropical'; with mango for instance. I have used diced pineapple also-- but not crushed... doesn't work as well.


I have also just gone to my pantry and gotten one can of every kind of fruit I have there-- I have put fresh strawberries sliced in it-- apples diced aren't bad but are more crunchy-- Dump it all together-- add the sour cream and some of the reserved juice if needed to stir well-- cover and refrig--

Layer Salad Recipe





INGREDIENTS:


6 cups chopped lettuce


salt and pepper


6 hard-cooked eggs, sliced


2 cups frozen peas, thawed


8 to 16 ounces bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled


2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese


1 cup miracle whip


1 to 2 tablespoons sugar


1/4 cup sliced green onion with tops


paprika





PREPARATION:


Place 3 cups of the lettuce in bottom of large bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer egg slices over lettuce in bowl and sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Continue to layer vegetables in this order: peas, remaining lettuce, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese, along with light sprinklings of salt and pepper. Combine miracle whip and sugar; spread over top, spreading to edge of bowl to cover entire salad.





Cover and chill 24 hours or overnight. Garnish with green onion and a little paprika. Toss before serving.
You might want to try some various fruit dips. There are loads of different types. Then, you just cut up the fruit and dip it. The fruit and dip last longer than if you mix them up in an actual salad.
