Ingredients:

• Dressing:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 Tablespoons balsamic vingegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 Tablespoon ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 Tablespoons honey mustard
• Salad:
• 8 cups baby spinach
• 4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
• 1 medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
• 4 bacon strips, cooked, drained and crumbled
• 6 ounces gorgonzola cheese

Method

In a microwave safe bowl combine dressing ingredients and mix well. In a large serving bowl toss together spinach, onions, crumbled bacon and crumbled cheese. Warm dressing in microwave on high for 30-40 seconds. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes: This salad is a great side dish to accompany any Mediterranean style main dish. I serve it with lamb skewers cooked on the grill and it's also great with a simple pasta dish like linguine with pesto sauce. I add cooked shrimp to make into a light main dish on hot summer days.

Number of servings: 8-10
