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

I made this tasty salad with lettuce, green onions and spinach from my garden. I also added sliced boiled eggs to mine. The salad and dressing were light and delicious! Perfect for a spring day!
