We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! Although we did not make the entire salad, only the dressing, we found preparation easy and the flavor delightful! We have saved this versatile recipe and use the dressing for everyday use or for special occassions! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! P.S. In our initial preparation we substituted white for red onion and it worked very well! We tossed the dressing with a spring/spinach mix salad and whole roasted almonds and it was fantastic!

very good. made mine with spinach and romaine for some extra crunch. Loved the dressing. Will make this again and again. Thanks for the tasty recipe...

DELICIOUS!! Every family party for the past 10 yrs. I am asked to make this. Its always a huge hit! The differences is I use only spinach, no iceberg. I use 1 tsp eaxch-celery seed and Prepare Mustard (like Grey Poupon. Instead of the croutons & onion rings-right before i serve it I pour about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Peppridge Farms dry stuffing mix then the dressing. I agree that the dressing is the reason this salad is so delicious!!

Wow!! This was unbelievable. My entire family raved about it. It is excellent. I used all spinach rather than lettuce. This is a new family fave for sure. Thank you

Very, very delicious!

Excellent spinach salad! Usually I do not like sweeter dressings, but this was very good. I will make this one again! Thanks for sharing.

Wow!! I took this to a potluck event--it was one of the first to go--the dressing is soooo good. I omitted eggs, and iceberg lettuce, just to keep things simple--and it tasted very good!

I loved this salad, and the dressing. May I suggest to those whose dressing was thick and pasty, you cooked it too long. I cooked mine on a very slow boil for approx. 6-10 min. Don't let it start getting too thick!!

I LOVED the dressing!I served it warm over the spinach and added a little bit of grated parmesan cheese to the salad. My husband said he will gladly eat that again.

When I first made this, the salad looked a little plain so I added a bunch of cherry tomatoes for colour. The dressing turned out great (like many others I used half a cup of sugar and added a little water to it). To prevent my dressing from turning gooey, I let it cool on the counter and poured it over the salad at room temperature. The unused portion of the dressing was refridgerated and did, in fact, turn into a thick goo. But I'll be making this one again.

Really delicious. My changes: I didn't use iceberg lettuce, just increased the amount of spinach. I didn't use croutons, either, but I added mushrooms. My husband said, "Mmmm" when he took his first bite. The dressing recipe is wonderful. A word to the wise: if putting your dressing in a shake canister, make sure it has cooled before trying to close it up and shake it. I made the mistake of bottling up hot dressing; the pressure built up and blew the lid off, exploding 3/4 of the dressing I had made all over my kitchen wall! Don't be stupid like me. :-)

mmm mmm good! The only thing I added was at the end I sprinkled on a bit of crumbled blue cheese! Oh and cut the sugar in half!

I made this yesterday for a friend's birthday spa party and all the ladies loved it. Everyone wants the recipe. It was light and filling at the same time. Just enough. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about putting the crushed croutons in, but it definitely helped make the salad a success. I also took Feta cheese to sprinkle on top, and lots of people liked that added touch.

I made this salad for company on New Year's Day, and it was delicious. I used just 1/2 cup sugar. I also used 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup vegetable oil, then 1/2 cup of water. It was perfect for us....just sweet enough and thick enough to stick to the spinach. I'll use this dressing recipe often on any salad. Delicious!!

I LOST my "Spinach Salad" dressing recipe and after looking at Emeril's, etc., I felt like this one was pretty close to what I had made before. I had to scale it down for two and it was just absolutely wonderful...I used baby spinach leaves and added a splash or two of Raspberry Vinegar to give it just a hint of a "kicked up" flavor. We enjoyed this recipe on New Year's Eve with our Lobsters...it was just perfect!! THANK YOU! PS ~ If it's "gooey" or whatever like some other comments, then just add more liquid, vinegar/oil, etc OR just LEARN to mix it RIGHT LOL ~ This recipe is great the way it's written...for me anyway ~ ENJOY and THANK YOU!

I've made this for 2 group dinners and it was a hit. I don't like really sweet dressings so I reduced the sugar in the dressing to 1/3 cup and added 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms. It was a hit - one guest threatened to lick the bowl. The 2nd dinner was during the spinach scare so I substituted a spring mix blend (no spinach) for the spinach and it was still a great tasting salad.

Delicious. My 1 year old even ate this green after I chopped it up very small.
