This spinach salad is an old family favorite; Even the salad haters in our family LOVE this! That includes my son in  law who usually only eat things that are between 2 slices of bread. With feta, mandarin oranges, and bacon – who wouldn’t love it? This spinach salad is a winner for everybody, and comes together quickly and easily. spinachsalad

You can add some crunchy romaine or even switch out the bacon to chicken to change it up.  It’s a good, gotta be in your recipe box, kinda salad. You can even save the dressing to dip chicken in!

NOTES & TIPS:  You will not use all the dressing.  Add a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired amount and careful not to over-do.    DO NOT toss until you are ready to serve…this salad wilts quickly!

    Your photos always look great, Kathi! This salad is a little like one I make but I have never used bacon in it. Thanks for the idea, I will try it next time. 🙂
