Chianti's Spinach Salad

 

I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam. toot! toot! 

Sorry, I don't know what came over me there.  It's that old association thing.  I see spinach, I hear Popeye. 

When I was a kid that can of spinach that Popeye muscled open never particularly got my cravings revved up. Nope, never. But my oh my, how things have changed.  I kind of have a thing now for fresh baby spinach.  Bonus of bonuses, 'cuz it's really, really good for us.

Now I do crave spinach.  Spinach salad to be precise.  Eon's ago my husband and I owned and operated a fine little restaurant in Kelowna called Chianti's.  One of Chianti's most popular menu items, hands down, was Spinach Salad.  Mmmm.....mmm.....mmmm....... a damn fine way to get my spinach fix!

Nice looking spinach salad, thank you for the dressing recipe, I look forward to trying this out. Spinach salad is also my favorite of salads, maybe with a little oliveoil, haha!

Rosie pose, I think you'll like this one. Depending on your likes, you might want to try adding a few whole dates in place of the bacon - just something that gives that other texture and flavour burst. Yeah, I like it, dates instead of bacon. Try it and let me know! : )

We eat spinach salad every night so I'm going to give this one a try, minus the bacon bits, of course!
