My favorite Spinach Salad combines crumbly bacon, cheddar cheese and a light poppy seed dressing into an irresistible side dish or main meal. Pair it, or any other spinach salad recipe, with any of these recipes to really fill you up!
Spinach is such a versatile leafy green vegetable. Not only can it be used in amazing warm dishes like this sauteed spinach or spinach pie, but it seems like everyone has their go-to Spinach Salad recipe that must be included in their holiday celebrations or at a dinner party.
The beauty is there are so many variations to a simple spinach salad from the fresh ingredients to the homemade dressing. You can add fresh fruits like sweet strawberries, apples and pears and mix them with raisins, cranberries or even mandarin oranges. In my favorite recipe, fresh spinach leaves pair perfectly with poppy seeds, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
It makes sense, then, that Spinach Salad doesn’t have to be served only at holidays and it doesn’t need to be relegated to just a side dish salad either.
