This salad is good, but 1 pound of spinach is soooooo much. And it defintely takes more time than most salads to prepare. The timing for the eggs was right. I don't believe that I will prepare this again because it takes too much prep time before the meal. It could be an entire lunch if adding ham, onions, etc..........

The salad was excellent...I didn't make the dressing simply because I didn't have time. We just used bottled dressing. Next time I make this, I'll try the dressing. Oh, and I added some tomatoes to the salad. Definitely a keeper!
