I love spinach salad and I always have! My mom used to make it loaded up with goodies like eggs, bacon and mushrooms! It could literally be a meal on it’s own!
This Spinach Salad is topped with an easy homemade Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing recipe. The great thing is that this dressing is a vinaigrette meaning it has no dairy yet it’s still rich and creamy. If you’ve never made your own dressing, it’s something you’ve got to try. It’s really easy and it tastes SO much better than bottled dressing (I could almost drink this Buttermilk Ranch Dressing).
One of the things to keep in mind when making the dressing is that you’ll want to be adding the oil as slowly as you possibly can to allow the mixture to emulsify (or thicken). This is the same technique used when making mayonnaise. This dressing will keep in the fridge for about 3 days but once you try it you’ll be wanting salad for every meal so likely it’ll be long gone before then!
