Spinach Salad


The simplest, bestest Spinach Salad eva'! My roommate during college used to make this often and it's all we would eat for dinner. It's extremely filling and full of flavor.


Ingredients:
Spinach
Bacon Bits (real or fake)
Hard Boiled Egg, sliced
Red Onion, thin slices
Balsamic Dressing

Instructions:
For the dressing, take a dry Italian packet and use balsamic for the vinegar.

You can layer the salad, or just dump the spinach in a bowl and sprinkle with the rest of the ingredients. I prefer the layer method, that way the goodies are throughout. The quantity of ingredients is all up to you.
