I made this salad for a family get together today. I pretty much threw whatever I had on hand into the bowl, then called Karen for a good dressing recipe! It turned out so yummy!
1 bag baby Spinach
2 cups Bow tie Pasta
2 cups red grapes (sliced in half)
1/2 cup candied walnuts
(easy to do. cook walnuts with 1/2 cup sugar, until sugar is dissolved and nuts are well coated. let cool before adding them to the salad)
You could also add sliced Avocados and Mozzarella cheese. Sometimes I do Apples, Strawberries or Mandarin Oranges...just whatever sounds good.
Dressing
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 cups Olive oil ( I used Vegetable Oil, and it still turned out great)
1/4 cup onion (I used a couple of Tbsp dried onion)
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
Put everything but the Poppy Seeds into a blender, and blend on high for a minute or two. Add the Poppy Seeds and mix with spoon. Pour over salad just before serving.
**This makes a ton of dressing, so I only did half a recipe for the one bag of Spinach. **
