Chico Inn Spinach Salad With Creamy Italian Dressing image

This recipe comes from the R.S.V.P. section in a November 1988 issue of Bon Appetit. It was requested from the Chico Hot Springs Lodge and Ranch in Pray, Montana. The dressing is what makes this salad especially good!

This is one of my favorite salads! It's so light and refreshing. The creamy Italian dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp spinach. I always add some extra bacon and croutons for a little extra flavor.

The dressing is the star of this salad! It's so creamy and flavorful. I could drink it straight from the bottle. Salad is also very fresh and crisp.

I have never cooked spinach salad at home before, but this recipe was so easy to follow and the results were delicious! I added some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again.
