Spinach Salad

• 1 head of lettuce
• 1 bunch of spinach
• 3/4 lb sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
• 1 red onion
• 1/2 lb cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup mandarin oranges drained
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 3 tbsp sugar

Dressing:

• 3/4 tbsp poppy seeds
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 3/4 cup oil
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp grated red onion
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard

Cook sugar and almonds over low heat until light brown. (I usually just buy honey roasted peanuts and its just as good). Mix first 5 ingredients together and lay in bowl. Sprinkle almonds, bacon and oranges on top. (I usually just mix the lettuce and spinach and add everything else and desired. That way it will last longer in the fridge if it isn’t all consumed at diner. Highly unlikely though…it is so good!!!
