spinach salad plus two

Picture
This is the very first thing that someone actually requested I bring to a potluck.

The Plus One and Plus Two variations are a nice change-up. If you do opt for a fruit variation, be very conservative with the sugar in the dressing.



As you can see, the ingredients for the dressing are few and very simple.

1 bag of spinach
 ½ of a red onion, thinly sliced into ringlets
1 hard-boiled egg
Bleu cheese
6 or so slices of bacon

Plus One—If Don’t Like Onions
Spinach
Strawberries
Bleu cheese
Pecans, roasted
Plus Two—If Don’t Like Bleu Cheese
Spinach
½ of a red onion, sliced into ringlets
Mandarin orange slices
Pecans, roasted
 
Dressing (for all)
1/3 cup vinegar--½ cup balsamic & ½ Japanese
1 dollop of mustard
A bit of sugar, to taste

Marjoram (fresh or dried)
Enough salad oil to combine

Fry bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble and set aside. Saute red onion in a bit of oil until caramelized. Drain and set aside. Cut hard-boiled eggs length and width-wise with an egg slicer.  Combine spinach, onion, bacon, egg and bleu cheese.

Mix dressing ingredients together, except oil Adjust flavor to your taste and then add just enough oil to hold everything together. Toss again with dressing, just enough to coat the salad.
