Spinach Salad and Poppy Seed Dressing
This is a simple salad but it tastes fantastic due to the homemade dressing. I think all salads taste about a million times better when paired with a from scratch dressing. Adjust the amount of each of the salad ingredients to fit the number of people you are serving and your taste preferences.
Salad
Baby Spinach
Spring Mix
Romaine
(or any combo of greens)
Crumbled Feta
Craisins
Toasted Almond Slices
Sliced Red Onion
Bacon Bits
Dressing
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups oil (Olive or Vegetable)
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
2 tsp poppy seeds
For the dressing: Combine the sugar, mustard, salt and poppy seeds in a blend and mix/pulse to combine. Add the red wine vinegar and blend until well combined. Add oil and continue to mix for about 15 seconds. Toss into the salad and serve immediately.
*This makes a lot of dressing, which can be stored in a mason jar or a dressing container for a few weeks in the fridge.
