Spinach Salad

From Tisha Flora


Famous BYU-Idaho Spinach Salad

1 head of lettuce
1 bunch of spinach
1/2 lb of Swiss Cheese
Red Onion for garnishing (I don't use much)
3/4 lb of sliced mushrooms
1/2 lb bacon, cooked & crumbled
1 lg can mandarin oranges (drained)
1/2 c sugared almonds (see recipe below)

Mix lettuce, spinach, cheese, onion, and mushrooms together. Lay bacon and oranges on top; add dressing and sugar almonds just before serving.

Sugared almonds:
1/2 c slivered almonds
1/4 c butter
3 T sugar

Melt butter and sugar. Add nuts. Stir until nuts are coated. Bake on cookie sheet at 300 for 20 min, stirring every 5 minutes to avoid burning.

Poppy seed dressing:

3/4 T poppy seeds
1/3 c white vinegar
3/4 c oil
1/3 c sugar
1/4 c onion (chopped)
3/4 5sp salt
2 T prepared mustard

Put all ingredients in a mixer to blend.
