I misplaced my all-time favorite Spinach Salad recipe and went looking for one that sounded similar. The dressing portion of this one wasn't even close to my old favorite, it was better AND easier. The DH is stingy with compliments, but he loved this dressing. Hard to believe there's a whole onion whizzed up in it!

***MADE FOR FALL PAC 2011*** Rock on with this one! I really liked this salad. Perfect balance in the dressing. The dressing really goes well with what is going on in the salad. I used red onion only because I LOVE red onion with spinach. I omitted the mushrooms and the water chestnuts. All in all great recipe here.
