THE Best Spinach Salad

The moment I took my first bite of this salad I knew it was meant to be in my life. It quickly reached top salad recipe status. My candy-making friend Ginger brought it to our ward christmas dinner. Thankfully I was sitting at her table and she told me it was hers. She said she served it at a family members wedding reception and so many people asked for the recipe that the bride just went ahead and sent out a copy with each of her thank you cards. Best story ever! And it really is that good.

The Best Spinach Salad
{a la Ginger D.}

Dressing:
1/2 cup oil (canola is good)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 t paprika
1 t dijon mustard
1/2 cup sugar

Mix together everything but oil. Then drizzle in oil while briskly whisking. Pour over salad, a little goes a long ways. You shouldn't need it all.

Salad:
Bag of spinach
Carton of mixed greens
Crumbled feta cheese
Bacon crumbles (i used hormel, easier than making it yourself and tastes great)
Sliced almonds
Grapes tomatoes (halved if large)

Just eyeball amounts, use quantities to your liking.

DIE of Sheer Salad Bliss!
