Paula Deen's Spinach Salad

This was the 2nd course served at Carol's Farewell Luncheon.
There are so many recipes for Spinach Salad. But this is a yummy, easy one. The recipe, from Paula Deen Celebrates!, has this comment with it: "This dressing is so good, you just might want to drink it!"
So, if you already have your own favorite Spinach Salad, you might want to try it with Paula's "good enough to drink" dressing!

I am not posting an image. Salads are so hard to photograph and I do believe most of us can picture what this would look like!

Spinach Salad

Fresh Baby Spinach
4 strips bacon, fried crisp, drained and crumbled
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 green onions, sliced
6 cherry tomatoes, halved

In a large glass bowl, layer the salad ingredients beginning with the spinach. Cover and chill.

Dressing
1 cup vegetable oil - measured with your Paula Deen Pewter Measuring Cups :)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. salt - measured with your Paula Deen Measuring Spoons
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 T. sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 clover garlic - minced

Combine the dressing ingredients in a blender and mix well.

Add the dressing just before serving the salad and toss well!
