SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING



Spinach Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing image

I like this salad because it isn't fruity like many spinach salads out there. My cousin always brings this to family dinners and everybody loves it, even the ones that don't like spinach! Be sure to make the dressing the night before! The original recipe called for 1 lb. of swiss cheese. I think that's a bit much and usually make it with 1/2 lb.
