	* Exported from MasterCook * Hallie's Spinach Salad Recipe By : Hallie Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 8-01 Jan 2005 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 6 slices side bacon Fresh spinach [about 4 good handfuls] 2 garlic cloves -- crushed with a heavy knife and finely chopped 3 mushrooms -- thinly sliced 1 cup pickled 4-bean salad or about 4 large pickled capers -- chopped or some sweet pickles -- chopped 1 roasted red bell pepper -- chopped [I buy them in jars] 1/2 cup top quality blue cheese -- crumbled 1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese [use reggiano if you can] 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning -- or to taste 1/2 cup light mayonnaise Fry the bacon until just crisp - not totally dried out. Place it on a paper towel to drain for a bit then, when it has cooled enough to handle, chop it coarsely. Set aside. Put the spinach loosely into a large bowl. Add the garlic, mushrooms, pickles, pepper, bacon, seasoning and the cheeses. Toss lightly to mix. Add the mayonnaise and mix just until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Sometimes I drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the veggies before I mix everything because I find it helps to make the bits stick together a bit better, otherwise the heavier solids have a tendency to sink to the bottom of the bowl if the spinach leaves are really dry. You could easily use an oil and vinegar dressing only, omitting the mayonnaise entirely; my husband just happens to really like it with mayonnaise. :) I have made it with chevre instead of blue cheese but we have decided we prefer the blue cheese. I might try it with feta one of these days. As I said, I seem to vary the recipe a little every time according to what I spot in the fridge or cupboard.
