Spinach Salad

This is one of our favorites! It makes a lot, so it's great for a large crowd!

2 bunches spinach (or one large bag)
1/2 head iceburg lettuce
1 lb. sliced mushrooms
1 sliced red onion (I like to dice them smaller)
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 c. shredded swiss cheese
Crasins (optional)

Combine all ingredients. You can even make this the night before, and just refrigerate it!

Dressing:

1 c. red wine vinegar
1 c. oil
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. poppy seeds
2 tbsp. finely grated onion (I like to use a little less onion in the salad, and grate the uncut end, so that you don't have onion smelling fingers.....if that makes sense)
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard

Combine and pour over salad just before serving.
