Spinach Salad in Winter
Posted Mon, 01/05/04
The following recipe is possible even though it is an off-time of the year (considering the current stretch of freezing weather in my area). However, the ingredients can be had just the same.
Layered Spinach Salad
1/2 to 3/4 LB fresh spinach
1/2 medium cucumber, sliced
1/2 C thinly-sliced radishes
1/4 C thinly-sliced green onions
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
3/4 C Ranch-style salad dressing
5 bacon strips, cooked & crumbled
1/2 C Spanish peanuts
Tear the spinach into bite-sized pieces and arrange in the bottom of a salad bowl. Evenly layer the cucumbers, radishes, green onions and eggs. Spread the dressing over the top. Cover and chill for up to twenty-four hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with bacon and peanuts. Recipe makes enough for six servings.
I dislike cooked spinach, but raw in a salad it is simply unmatched. The recipe definitely makes a full meal.
I found the dish at Taste of Home, but made usual changes to preference.
