This was the first time I ever made a spinach salad (it's not something I like), but my husband and mother-in-law gave it rave reviews. In fact, my husband ONLY ate the spinach salad for dinner that night...usually I can't get him to eat ANY salad with his meals.

It's a shame that such a magnificent salad has such a plain Jane name. "Spinach Salad II" just doesn't do it justice! I was tempted to dock it a star just for calling for vegetable oil in the dressing (I used olive oil) but all the positives more than outweighed this one little negative. Beautiful, fresh, perfect blend of flavors and colors, and extremely good for you too! Other than using olive oil rather than vegetable oil, and thinly sliced red onion for the chopped onions called for, I made no other changes or additions. Why mess with perfection? Loved, loved, loved the dressing - so light and fresh tasting! Rather than tossing the salad I made individual servings on salad plates, topping each bed of spinach with the remaining ingredients. This made for a beautiful presentation. Thanks for sharing this keeper recipe Dee J - we cleaned our plates!

I have served this now on several holidays as well as having it as a stand alone dinner with bread or soup. I double the dressing and add fresh mushrooms and use Bacos instead of bacon for the vegetarians. It is better than restaurant spinach salads.

With minor alterations this deserves 5 stars. I subbed olive oil for veggie oil for health sake...cut back on onion so it wouldn't overpower and added 1 T. white wine vinegar to give the dressing a little zip. This made the recipe perfect for us!!!

Quick, simple and delish. I did add some lemon zest since it's there as part of the lemon and I hate to throw it away.

I thought that this was just o.k. I tried adding some red wine vinegar as others suggested and it was still just o.k.

My husband now likes spinach because of this salad. The only thing I changed was to use EVOO instead of regular oil.

I wouldn't add sugar to this recipe it is perfect as is. I the only problem I had was eating too much of it. If you shp at costco and get the mega bag of spinach what can you do with all of it? make this salad for your friends and family.

Simple yet extremely satisfying. It was my first time making any type of dressing for a salad. By the end of dinner, it was all gone. My friends loved it.

This is a great salad. Wiht these minor adjustments, here is how you can make it five star caliber. Substitute regular onion for red onion, add fresh sliced mushrooms and a little red wine vinegar to the dressing,(according to taste). It is absolutely awesome!
