Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cup baby spinach leaves
2 cup leafy green lettuce (, chopped romaine or red leaf)
8 ounce button mushrooms (, sliced)
1/2 cup Swiss cheese (, grated)
5 slice bacon (, cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup small curd cottage cheese (, rinsed, and drained well)
1/4 cup red onion (, thinly sliced)
1/2 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (, or tarragon vinegar)
2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
2 Tablespoon red onion (, chopped)
salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1/2 Tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Steps:

  • For the dressing:
  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust ingredients, to taste: more vinegar if you want it tangier, more sugar if you'd like it sweeter.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving on salad.
  • Add the spinach and lettuce to a large salad bowl. Top with remaining salad ingredients and toss lightly to combine.
  • Drizzle with desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.
