A Salad For Easter

DeeDee at It Coulda Been Worse is having at Easter editon of Saturday Stirrings and I immediately thought of this salad. It is perfect for Easter with the combo of Springy flavors and colors. It is just de-lish!

Spinach, Bacon, and Apple Salad

5 slices bacon

1/4 cups sliced almonds

8 cups spinach, rinsed, stemmed and torn into pieces

1 Red Delicious apple, unpeeled, cored and chopped

3 green onions, sliced

Dressing:

1/4 cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a lidded jar, combine all dressing ingredients.  Shake well and refrigerate.

In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp.  Drain on paper towel; crumble.  In the same skillet, cook almonds in 1 tablespoon bacon grease. Shake over high heat until almonds are browned.  In large salad bowl, combine spinach with bacon, almonds, apples, and onions.  Toss with dressing.

Makes 6-8 servings. (from Creme de Colorado Cookbook)
