Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups fresh spinach
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 lb bacon (cooked and chopped)
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges
1/2 cup dried cranberries
candied pecans (may substitute toasted slivered almonds)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup oil
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (powder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions

Steps:

  • Put dressing ingredients into blender, and puree -- toss with salad Ingredients and that's it!
  • Hint: You can prepare double the amount of the salad mix then save 1/2 the dressing and have 2 meals. This makes a great big salad.
  • Hint #2 : Don't put the dressing on until right before you eat if you want it to stay crisp!
