Categories: Salads, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

1 pk 10 oz. fresh spinach
1/4 lb Mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 ea Small red onion, peeled and
8 ea Slices bacon, cut into 1-inc
2 ts Dijon or prepared spicy brow

Trim the spinach of coarse stems and blemished
leaves, and wash. Pat the spinach dry with paper
toweling, tear into bite-size pieces, and put into a
large serving bowl along with the mushrooms and onion.
Set aside. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a 12 inch
skillet over moderately high heat until crisp -- about
5 minutes. Drain on paper toweling and reserve. Pour
off all but 5 tablespoons of the drippings. Reduce
the heat to low. Add the mustard, sugar, vinegar,
Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to the
drippings. Stir to mix well. Pour the dressing over
the salad, crumble the bacon over it, and toss
thoroughly. Serve immediately.
