This was the result of an attempt to imitate a salad dressing at a restaurant. I did modify it to include bacon and I serve it warm. The dressing is also fantastic over gnocchi or tortellini.

SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING



Spinach Salad With Warm Gorgonzola Dressing image

This is a fantastic spinach salad recipe, and one I have made many times for dinner parties. This salad is so good that it can really be served as a main meal, and also compares to the spinach salads that are served at the fancy restaurants, if not BETTER! You can use Roquefort in place of the gorgonzola...once you have tryed this salad you'll be hooked! This is a salad you make often!
