Fresh Spinach Salad

Amy Fidel
This recipe was originally from my mom. It is great with our traditional New Year’s Eve dinner. (When the kids were young they didn’t even realize they were eating spinach!)

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 lbs. spinach
  • 8 ounces fresh bean sprouts rinsed and drained
  • 1 can water chestnuts drained and sliced
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 8 slices bacon fried and crumbled
  • 2 eggs hard-cooked and slic
  • 1/4 cup salad oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons catsup
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  1. Remove stems from spinach and discard. Wash leaves well, pat dry, and break into bite size pieces. Combine spinach, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and onions. Cover and refrigerate as long as four hours. Mix together salad oil, vinegar, catsup, and salt and pepper to taste. To serve, add bacon to spinach mixture. Pour over dressing, and mix gently but thoroughly. Garnish with egg slices.
