Easter is only five days away!
Many preparations are underway.
The menu won’t be complete without a fresh side salad. This Spring spinach salad is just the ticket!
It’s quick and easy. Just a few ingredients to toss with your favorite poppy seed dressing.
I love this salad for many reasons. It tastes so delicious! Its a little unique. I love the blend of the sweet and the salty, the veggies with the fruit. The nuts and bacon are crunchy…….drumroll please……it’s very healthy for you!
You can actually put it altogether in about 5 minutes! No joke!
Fresh Spinach Salad
Ingredients
- 5 pieces of green curly leaf lettuce optional
- 1 bag of spinach
- 1 or 2"cutie" mandarin orange or canned drained
- 4 slices cooked bacon broken
- 1/8 C sesame seeds
- Your favorite poppy seed dressing. I think I like them all
Instructions
- Microwave the bacon for approx 3 minutes. Wash and spin the lettuce and spinach. On a platter make a bed with the lettuce, then layer the spinach, orange sections, bacon, sprinkle the sesame seeds and top with broken pieces of bacon. Finish off by drizzling the salad dressing over the top or serve in a small bowl on the side.
Hope you love it as much as I do!
