Even our kids—who normally don't care for spinach—can't resist this salad with its rich dressing and crumbled bacon. Of course, you can use other greens instead of spinach. —Gretchen Kuipers, Platte, South Dakota

  • 6 bacon strips, chopped
  • 6 cups torn spinach leaves
  • 1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, torn
