Loved this too. My daughter who would never eat spinach asked me for this recipe. It went over very well for family and friends. I added crumbled blue cheese, mandarin oranges, walnuts and Cathy Hoffman's garlic croutons Yummy! Will make again for Christmas.

The dressing is fabulous. I followed the suggestions and cut the sugar in half and used balsamic vinager and a red onion, shaking it instead of using the blender. Definitely use less spinach and you will have extra dressing left as well. Ty so much for sharing this delicious recipe!!

Good, but a lot of prepwork. Does not keep well. Adding dressing after serving would seem a better idea.

Very good. Needed a last minute dressing for a bag of baby spinach I had and this was perfect. Used less sugar, as some others suggested, and balsamic vinegar (because we were out of cider vinegar). Tasted wonderful. Thanks.

A little too sweet for us but otherwise a great spinach salad. Will decrease sugar next time. Definitely a keeper.

The dressing alone deserves five stars. I am not a fan of bottled dressings, they're all blah. When my husband and I whipped this up, we added a bit more oil, poppyseeds and appr. a tablespoon of bacon drippings. Delightful! The salad was not bad also:-) Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe is so easy to make and people absolutely love it! I recently had a party catered and the only item I made was this salad and the dish I got the most compliments on was this salad! The dressing really makes it and it also does well on any salad!

WOW! What a salad. I have made this so many times and the bowl is always empty!! I have also used the dressing on other in other salads. The dressing is great on plain lettuce. I usually use bacon that is precooked from the store and have also added feta cheese, almonds and dried cranberries to this salad. I do not use a blender to make the dressing, just a jar and a good shake!

This is a great spinach salad recipe. Especially for those of us who live in a warm climate (FL) and don't need a "hot dressing" all the time. I used a red onion the first time I made the recipe, and the dressing came out a nice pink color in contrast to the green spinach. One egg per person is the way to go, and I only used one bag of spinach for six people.

I think the serving size listed for this recipe is incorrect. It says: serves 6. Two pounds of spinach is a huge amount, even as the main meal, this would probably feed more. Assuming you're serving it as a side salad, this recipe (using 2 lbs of spinach) should feed about 24 people. I scaled this recipe back to get the correct amount needed for 6 people (I would allow one egg per person though). It worked great. I would strongly suggest that you make your own croutons using the GARLIC CROUTON recipe submitted by Cathy Hofmann. It's wonderful!! Time saving tips: 1. don't use a blender, put everything into a wide mouth bottle (like a 16 oz Gatorade bottle) and shake it up. No blender to clean and you can toss the bottle! 2. use REAL bacon already cooked and crumbled at the store.

Loved it, this is my kinda salad! I used red onion, and cut the sugar amount in the dressing to maybe 3/4 tsp. (I cut the recipe down to 1 serving). I will make this again, and share with my 11 year old, who LOVES spinach as well. Thanks Dee!

Wow, this was great! Reminded me of a combination of traditional spinach salad dressing and poppy seed. We really loved it and will make it often.

My gang loves spinach and salad so this was great for us. Other than using baby spinach leaves, I didn't change a thing. This recipe is also good with the hot bacon dressing which is on this site. Yum, and thanks!
