Hot Spinach Dressing and Salad

This is one of the best hot spinach salad dressings i have had. A friend of mine gave it to me.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2  cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
• 1⁄4 cup vinegar (try balsamic-it is great!)
• 1⁄4 cup catsup, regular or hot (I use hot)
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 5  teaspoons sugar or 5  teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
•  salt and pepper
• 1 (6 ounce) bag spinach
• 2 -4  hard-boiled eggs (sliced or chopped)
• 3 -4  tablespoons  hormel real bacon bits (I use Hormel or Oscar Meyer if I don't fry the bacon myself - 4 slices)

Directions

1. Mix garlic, vinegar, catsup, oil and sugar together in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir.
3. Continue to heat the dressing until it is very warm to touch.
4. Assemble the salad: spinach, eggs and bacon pieces, pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately as the hot dressing will wilt the spinach.
