Spinach Salad

6 servings

SALAD

• 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed, cut up
• 1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Shredded cheese
• Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

DRESSING

• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons onion, grated
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/3 cup vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the dressing ingredients. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten; toss to coat salad with dressing.

For a 'Lite' version, I have replaced the oil in the salad dressing with a thickener in the form of cornstarch. I think the two dressings are almost identical.

The flavors in this sweet-and-sour dressing make it a really good way to get kids to eat vegetables. I left out the avocado, since the salad is delicious without it, and it adds 5 grams of fat per serving for each avocado.
