Italian Spinach Salad - Toh image

From TOH Simple and Delicious Mar/April edition 2008. I'm saving this for a spring salad choice when baby spinach is in season locally. It looks very simple to put together. I'm really drawn to it by the warm dressing you use over the salads. Makes 8 salad plates/servings - so adjust as necessary. I've already made a few adjustments based on my personal preferences (cooked bacon over bacon bits, vidalia onion over red, and added the red peppers).

I used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing on this salad and it was perfect. The tangy dressing really complemented the flavors of the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.
