Method
To make the dressing: Put the chopped onion and the olive oil in the blender or food processor and blend until the onions "disappear." Add the remainder of the dressing ingredients and blend. Let rest for a few minutes and blend again. Pour dressing over spinach and toss. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds and bacon or salmon over top and serve. Or go all out and add both bacon and salmon!
