Ingredients

2 bunches washed spinach, chopped into 1/4 inch strips by about 1 1/2 inches long
1 bunch washed green onion, chopped very fine,1/8 to 1/4 inch is good
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated lemon, zest of
1/4 cup slivered almonds
6 ounces rice vinegar (Marukan seasoned rice vinegar comes diluted to 4.1% acidity)
8 ounces bertolli extra light tasting olive oil (delicate & mild, so light it almost looks like veg. oil)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (SEE FOOTNOTE)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

SUGAR FOOTNOTE: I used Kroger brand.
Also acceptable brands are: Ralphs and Vons.
Why you ask… b/c they are most likely BEET sugar.
They already come with cornstarch added.
If you use a name brand cane sugar, or splenda, or xylitol (birch sugar) you will probably have to add 1/4 tsp of cornstarch to get a dressing consistency that clings to the salad.
Spinach salad Key notes: 1 Wash your hands.
2 Wash the produce, drain and gently pat dry.
3 Wash your hands.
Mix the first three ingredients thoroughly in a large wide bowl, add the almond slivers& set aside.
Using a whisk- mix the next four ingredients thoroughly in a medium a bowl.
Pour this dressing on the spinach/almond mixture.
Using your very clean hands, incorporate the dressing with the salad… “tossing” and coating completely using a crunching motion on the spinach, to slightly bruise it so it softens- similar as you would do for a Slovak Cabbage salad.
Put in a pretty serving bowl-- can be served room temperature or lightly chilled.
