Spinach Salad

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This excellent salad is full of fresh ingredients. The salad dressing recipe can be used on other salads too; it will keep well in the refrigerator for about a week.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. celery salt
  • 2 tsp. dry mustard powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 16 oz. fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

Preparation:

In a small saucepan, combine the diced onion, sugar, black pepper, celery salt, mustard, vegetable oil, and vinegar. Whisk over high heat until all ingredients are well mixed and onions are translucent. Remove from heat, cover, and refrigerate until cool.

When ready to serve, combine spinach, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Toss together. Pour some of the dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly. Serve remaining dressing on the side. 8 servings
