Spinach Salad

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup oil

1 ½ teaspoon poppy seeds

1 ½ teaspoon red onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 pound fresh mushrooms

1 bunch spinach or 1 bag baby spinach

1/2 small red onion

1/4 pound mozzarella cheese, grated

A little less than 1/4 cup cottage cheese

4 pieces bacon, fried & crumbled

1/2 cup crasions

Mix first 7 ingredients (sugar, vinegar, oil, poppy seed, onion, salt, and mustard) together for dressing. Add sliced mushrooms. Let marinate overnight. Mix salad together. Right before serving pour dressing over salad, toss and serve.

I like to use the bag of baby spinach. Try to get at least a 12 oz bag. I will take off any long stems.

This recipe is easily doubled and will feed 12-15 people.
