Description

A classic spinach salad — fresh spinach leaves layered with sliced water chestnuts, bean sprouts, hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon, and onion rings, dressed with a tangy sweet-sour vinaigrette of salad oil, dark vinegar, catsup, and sugar. Bold, satisfying, and better than any restaurant version.

  • 1 Cup Salad oil (dressing)

  • 3/4 Cups Sugar (dressing)

  2. 2
    In a jar or container with a lid, combine salad oil, dark vinegar, catsup, sugar, and salt. Shake well.

Note

Dress the salad just before serving — the vinaigrette wilts the spinach quickly if left to sit.
