This is another recipe I got from my friend, Martha. It takes the ordinary Mandarin Spinach Salad to a whole new level! Great for lunch, a shower luncheon, or a light dinner with some crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine! Add some grilled chicken to make a heartier meal. Ingredients:
1 (1 lb) package baby spinach |
1 1/2 cups fresh bean sprouts, washed and drained or 1 (16 ounce) can bean sprouts, rinsed and drained |
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, rinsed, drained, and sliced |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings |
1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, washed and sliced thin |
8 slices bacon, fried crisp and drained |
1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced |
1 cup salad oil |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 cup catsup |
Directions:
1. To prepare dressing process all dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until well blended.
2. Place spinach in a large bowl.
3. Add next 6 ingredients and toss to mix.
4. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with the sliced avocado.
5. Just before serving, toss with dressing and serve.
6. If you're in a hurry, a Catalina dressing may be used.
