Excellent salad Terra. I omitted the lettuce and doubled the spinach. The dressing was great with only 2T sugar. I'm not sure we would have like it with 2/3 cup. With modifications to the dressing, this salad is a winner! Thanks.

This was good. I used bac-os because they are vegetarian.

I make this dressing often and keep it on hand. I use it for all kinds of salads...not just spinach. I do find that it mixes better if you let it come to room temperature before you serve it. It doesn't mix well cold.

I did not decrease the amount of sugar and this salad was a HUGE hit at Christmas. I doubled the amounts to feed 25 and there was plenty! Everyone loved it and had 2nds and 3rds. Great Recipe! Thanks!

Hello Michele - Get a clue! I have finally come to the conclusion that I just DON'T like sugar based dressing. The sugar in this pretty much ruined the taste of the salad, mind you the salad itself is AWESOME. The dressing - UGH! Thanks for the salad idea Terra.

I was so excited about this recipe, but found I was a bit disappointed in the dressing. I was expecting a little more "zip" to the taste. I also cut back on the sliced red onion in the salad portion. Would like to try again, maybe with a variation to the dressing.

Excellent recipe. Served it for a PTA Board of Directors meeting and had two requests for the recipe on the spot! I ommitted the iceberg lettuce, however. Wanted a true spinach salad. Thanks Terra May!

This is an excellent recipe. I agree with the other poster that it took awhile, but maybe that's because I was multi-tasking. Definitely get the eggs boiling and the bacon cooking and then start on the dressing. My husband loved the sweetness, but I also think I would cut down on sugar. One warning: don't overcook. Whisk continuously, just until the onions get tender. I went off to work on another dish and the oil separated, and I ended up with a sticky, dark brown caramel ball. Had to start over.

The dressing was way too sweet, next time I will decrease the sugar by half. The crushed crutons didn't really add much. Overall though a really good dressing. I used half spinich and half red leaf which worked out great.

Thanks for a great new twist on spinach salad. Even some of my picky eaters who would not normally eat spinach ate this and loved it. The dressing definitely made this. I had to make another batch for the next night's dinner as everyone wanted more.

This is a wonderful recipe! I made this for a baby shower, and got raves (and an empty salad bowl!!) I added 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, and used two bags of spinach, instead of the iceburg lettuce. You've got to try it!
