Every month we receive the free Shoppers Choice Magazine, which includes restaurant coupons among other things. This time around there were a few recipes.

 

The following seemed the most appetizing and easiest to prepare:

 

Spinach & Cheddar Salad

1 (10 oz.) bag baby spinach leaves or torn spinach leaves, washed

1 C (4 oz.) smoked or sharp cheese, shredded or finely diced

1/3 C packaged real bacon bits

1/4 C thin red onion rings or strips

1/4 C radishes, thinly sliced (optional)

1/3 C bottled red wine or raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing

1 hard-cooked egg, chopped (optional)

1/2 C herb or garlic croutons

Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

 

In a large bowl, combine spinach, cheese, bacon bits, red onion and radishes. Add dressing; toss well to coat and transfer to serving plates. Top with egg and croutons. Serve with freshly ground black pepper. Recipe makes four side dish or two meatless main dish servings.
