“Oh, it’s a classic spinach salad then.” “Um, yes, I guess so.”
That was the conversation between me and my husband last night as I was explaining to him what was in the salad, that I had made it before, that he had really liked it, etc. The original name of the recipe is “Bermuda Spinach Salad”, but I think he disagrees with that. So I’ve renamed it “Classic Spinach Salad”. So. Original.

Classic Spinach Salad
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 3/4-1 pound spinach
- 2-3 tbsp croutons even better if they're homemade!
- 2 mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
- fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. Once cool, peel and chop.
- Prepare the dressing in the blender by combining the onion, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar, pepper, celery seed and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth.
- Place spinach in a bowl, top with eggs, bacon, croutons and mushrooms. Pour enough dressing over salad to lightly coat. Toss and serve.
