No idea, but you should be able to find it on www.food.comPaula deen cooking aired july 28 2006 layered salad recipe thanks?
don't know about hers but I make a nice 15 item salad in a very large bowl which lasts 2 days for 2 or more people.





it has lettuce, tomatoes, cooked and sliced eggs with paprika on them, small shrimp, ham squares, salomi pieces, cheddar cheese squares, swiss cheese squares, black olives, raisins, sunflower nuts, cucumber slices, julienned carrots, strips of avacado, parmesan cheese sprinkled.





Keep it cool....put the dressing on it after you put it on individual plates. I use italian (the kind I make myself with the packet plus vinegar and oil) or creamy french dressing.

I just purchased a Truffle Bowl. does any one have any good recipes, both salads and desserts please. Thanks

This really looks nice in a trifle bowl.





Death by Chocolate


1 box chocolate cake mix plus ingredients according to box


4 sm boxes of Instant Choc. pudding


4- 8-oz. cool Whip


* oreo cookies crumbs (optional)


* melted chocolate (optional)


* chopped heath bars (optional)


* chocolate chips (optional)


Bake cake according to directions.


and prepare pudding according to box.


When cake is cooled.


Layer as follows:


half the cake - crumbled


half the pudding ( 2 boxes prepared)


16 oz. cool whip


optional ingredients


Repeat-


* If you want you can sprinkle oreo crumbs, heath bars, and chocolate chips on the cool whip layers. On the final cool whip layer you can drizzle melted chocolate and sprinkle oreo crumbs and chocolate chips. I added oreo cookie crumbs and leftover melted chocolate in between the layers.I just purchased a Truffle Bowl. does any one have any good recipes, both salads and desserts please. Thanks
There are two different desserts people like in my Trifle bowl. With the first I use chocolate cake to line the bottom and a little up the sides. I then sprinkle the cake with a little coffee and then I put 1/2 recipe of prepared chocolate pudding (either cooked or instant) over that. Then add another layer of the cake - flat across and again a little up the sides. Sprinkle that with coffee. Do the last of the pudding again. Then I top it with Dream Whip (you can use Cool Whip if you'd like) and top that with toasted almonds and toasted coconut.





The other one I make uses yellow cake mix instead of the chocolate and vanilla pudding in place of the chocolate. I sprinkle the yellow cake with marischino cherry juice instead of coffee and on top of the vanilla pudding I put a layer of pie cherry filling - 1/2 in each spot. I top it again with the Dream Whip, toasted almonds and toasted coconut. This recipe was accepted in one of the Taste of Home cookbooks.I just purchased a Truffle Bowl. does any one have any good recipes, both salads and desserts please. Thanks
Did you mean....a ';TRIFLE'; bowl?





Seven Layer Salad is always good.





Mr. Food makes a yummy chocolate layered trifle-type dessert...in his dessert cookbook.
I love the way foods look in truffle bowls...





Layer Angel food cake peices with any berries or a mix of


any berries and cool whip.





Crush oreo cookies. Make a mixture of vanilla pudding (prepared), cream cheese and cool whip. Alternate in layers with the cookies.





Salsa - dice roma tomatoes, chopped sweet onion (like Walla Wall, Vidalia or Maui) jalapenos (as many = as hot as you like it), crushed garlic (jarred is fine), salt to taste - add enough FRESH lime juice to bind it.





Damn! she's right... ';trifle'; - sorry.

maybe one of these is close, this first one, I suppose you could leave out the cheese





Ingredients





* 1/2 cup chopped red onion


* 1 tablespoon olive oil


* 4 cups fresh corn kernels


* 2 cups cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100s (about 10 oz.), rinsed, stemmed, and halved if larger than 3/4 inch

3. Sprinkle goat cheese over salad; serve warm or at room temperature.





Cutting kernels: An average ear of corn weighs from 10 to 14 ounces and yields about 1 cup of kernels. To remove them, with a large, sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of each ear down to the beginning of the kernels. Pull off and discard the husks and silks; rinse ears. Holding each ear upright, shear off the kernels close to the cob.











3 tablespoons white wine vinegar





2 teaspoons kosher salt





Freshly ground black pepper





1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil





6 ears fresh corn, husked (about 4 cups corn kernels)





2 cups red or orange grape tomatoes, halved





1 bunch scallions (white and green), thinly sliced





8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes





1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves





Whisk the vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.











Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife over a bowl. Toss in the tomatoes, scallions, and mozzarella. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let set for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Before serving tear the basil over the salad and stir.

Need a recipe for polk salad stalks?

how to


prepare and cook polk salad stalksNeed a recipe for polk salad stalks?
Nikita -- The way I prepair them is to take the leaves off and peel them by starting at the small end using a paring knife just separate the skin from the stalk and pull it toward the big end It's time consuming but they have to be peeled to be good.A small amount of peel left on will be OK. but get the most of it.Slice the peeled stalk in 1/2


to 3/4 inch slices depending on the diameter


so they will cook evenly.rinse in cold water drain then roll in seasoned corn meal .You can always reseason at the end of cooking time .cook in bacon drippings untill browned and soft. I hope this has helped you .


jim bNeed a recipe for polk salad stalks?
Sorry, I do not know what polk salad stalks are but I sure would like to know - I love trying out new vegetables.
Whatever recipe you use, BE SURE TO COOK THE GREENS TWICE. Polk salit is poisonous, and the first cooking cooks the poison out. That's why you dump the first batch of water and rinse the greens well before you continue with the recipe.
It's actually poke salat.





Buy young ones (no purple) and rinse thoroughly and parboil it with a little salt. Drain well, and add it to a hot skillet with some bacon drippings or butter, or a combination of both. YUMMA!

you can take almost any recipe you already have and make it low fat. A lot of times, the fat in a recipe isn't even needed(don't know why its there!) A recipe will start out with saute' this or that in butter. Skip the butter, use a squirt or 2 of cooking spray or a very small amount of olive oil and it will still work fine. you can also use leaner meats in any recipe without loosing flavor and that will drop the fat content nicely. I have used a thing called Butter Buds( a sprinkled product) in some things to get that buttery flavor without fat, like on steamed veggies.


Substitute equal amounts of applesauce in cake recipes for 1/2 the fat. It will turn out fine. Same with muffin recipes. Never tried cookies though.


Substitute skim milk for whole milk in all recipes too. It is fun to try things like this to see how low you can go on the low fat thing without sacrificing flavor.Low fat recipe ideas? different salad ideas?
My mother gave me this recipe years ago, and we get it out every winter and make a batch every week or so. It's called Slimmer's Soup, and the theory goes that you can eat it for breakfast lunch and tea and that's all you need to sustain you, and you will lose weight really fast. I've never done that, but it is good for one meal a day, and it's almost no fat and almost no carbs. It doesn't sound too apetising when you look at the ingredients list, but I'm a meat lover and even I can be happy with this!





This is the list of ingredients; all you do is chop all the veges and throw everything in the pot together.





I added the paprika and reduced the chilli because I didn't like it very spicy. You could drop the chilli out altogether, or put it back in.





You can add any vegetables you like, but the cabbage and celery is critical.





I use 1.5 litres of water and a couple of teaspoons of chicken stock powder (Massel is the best powder).





It needs about an hour to cook, and will last in the fridge for over a week (I remember throwing out a batch when it was almost 14 days old, but only because I didn't want to think about eating it).





SLIMMER'S SOUP:


2 cups chicken stock


1L water


2 tins crushed tomatoes


录 cabbage


3 sticks celery


2 carrots


handful of beans


1 onion


2 large cloves garlic


陆 red capsicum


1-2tsp paprika


1-2tsp sweet chilli sauce
I just shared this recipe with another person but it works for you too:





I had this salad in a restaurant once and have since made it many times at home. You didn't mention whether you eat meat in your salad or not so, if you are a vegetarian, then just leave out the meat.





But, the kind of salad I had started with mixed greens placed in a large bowl. Then sprinkle on diced apple, then a small handful of cranraisins. Then add some cubed or shredded cooked chicken. Top that with toasted pine nuts, toasted sunflower seeds, and toasted pecan halves. Sprinkle over the top some Feta cheese.





For the dressing, you can find a very good Raspberry Vinaigrette - even fat-free if you are interested - by Knotts Berry Farms. There are other brands out there that are also good. Serve the dressing in a bowl and let everyone sprinkle their own dressing over their salad with a spoon.





The restaurant served the single-serving in a large bowl so people could mix everything together. I just liked to eat the layers. So, when I serve each person, I put theirs in my serving bowls instead of on a salad plate or salad bowl.





The restaurant charged a LOT for that lunch salad but it's very very good. I've even had it with caramelized pecans but like it better with the toasted.
I take a head of lettuce, add 1/8 cup of Craisins, 1/2 cup of beans (pinto, black, garbanzo) 1/2 oz of goat cheese, 1 tsp of olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper. I love this salad! Some walnuts too if you like them!

    Spinach Salad


    8 ounces young spinach


    2 large eggs


    8 pieces thick-sliced bacon, chopped


    3 tablespoons red wine vinegar


    1 teaspoon sugar


    1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard


    Ingredients Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


    4 large white mushrooms, sliced


    3 ounces red onion (1 small), very thinly sliced


    Directions Spinach


    Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.


    Place the eggs into an electric kettle and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Turn the kettle on. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle will turn itself off. Leave the eggs in the water for 15 minutes. Remove and peel off the shell. Slice each egg into 8 pieces and set aside.


    While the eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.


    Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper.


    Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
    Just leave them out. There is nothing saying you Have to have tomatoes in the salad.





    If you live a house where others like toms then set all the fixings for the salad in seperate containers and make it a build your own.

    Salad recipe including goji berries?

    can anyone give me ideas on a wheat-free, dairy-free salad that has goji berries? any ideas of what lettuce, dressing, ingredients, etc. would go good with them. i have never had them so i dont know what they would taste like but i have to eat them and in a salad formSalad recipe including goji berries?
    I eat a handful every day, and here is a tip, if you have an Asian store that sell a wide selection of foods, buy them there, also known as wolfberries, as they are dried and sweet like a cranberry, used them as you would croutons, even make the dressing with them, heat some orange or apple juice and let them steep, then make the dressing with a hand blender or stand one.





    I make a spinach salad with canned mandarin oranges, red onion, walnuts, mushrooms and the dressing, I like to use nut oils like walnut or hazelnut but canola or grape seed is nice, just add it in a stream to the blender when pureeing the goji berries and the juice you soften them in, you can use vinegar, but I find the dressing is mellower with fruit juices, any will do.





    With a lettuce salad you may want to use them as a topping, and make a light vinaigrette.

    Hawaiian Salad that calls for sour milk, does anyone know the recipe?

    Also my mother says she used to be able to buy sour milk at the grocery store. any help would be great!Hawaiian Salad that calls for sour milk, does anyone know the recipe?
    not sure about the recipe, but sour milk would be equivalent to buttermilk, found easily.





    Or you can add a little lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk to sour it. One tablespoon of either added to one cup of milk. Let it sit for a little while before using it.





    By any chance, is it a sweet salad like this:





    http://www.easysaladrecipes.com/ambrosia鈥?/a>





    My mom does it with buttermilk instead. There are all sorts of variations. Some use only pineapple, some use jello.





    If not, you could try using buttermilk as a keyword along with any of the ingredients - might find the one you are after that way.

    There are a few recipes I like.. They're pretty simple, and you can always change them up a little bit, and add things like fish or chicken.





    Asian Salad- Traditional





    2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, crushed


    1 cup blanched slivered almonds


    2 teaspoons sesame seeds


    1/2 cup butter, melted


    1 head napa cabbage, shredded


    1 bunch green onions, chopped


    3/4 cup vegetable oil


    1/4 cup distilled white vinegar


    1/2 cup white sugar


    2 tablespoons soy sauce





    DIRECTIONS


    In a medium skillet over low heat brown ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds with melted butter or margarine. Once browned, take off heat and cool.





    In a small saucepan bring vegetable oil, sugar, and vinegar to boil for 1 minute. Cool. Add soy sauce.





    In a large bowl , combine shredded napa cabbage and chopped green onions. Add the noodle and soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat. Serve.





    Asian Chicken Salad- (My Favorite!)





    2 tablespoons brown sugar


    2 teaspoons soy sauce


    1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)


    1/4 cup vegetable oil


    3 tablespoons rice vinegar


    1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles


    1 head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped


    4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded


    3 green onions, chopped


    1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted





    DIRECTIONS


    Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.





    To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.





    In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

    TGI Friday's Mandarin Orange Sesame Dressing


    --Oregonian Newspaper, via CK





    1/3 C. orange marmalade


    1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper


    1/4 tsp. ground ginger


    1/4 tsp. garlic powder


    1/4 C. white vinegar


    2/3 C. vegetable oil


    2 Tbsp. soy sauce


    3 Tbsp. sesame oil


    2 Tbsp. honey


    1/4 C. mandarin orange sections, chopped


    Mixed greens


    Grilled chicken breasts





    Measure marmalade, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic powder, vinegar, oil, soy sauce, sesame oil and honey into a blender container. Cover and blend on medium speed for 30 to 45 seconds.





    Transfer to a small bowl and add the chopped orange sections. Stir to mix, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.





    Serve over a bed of mixed greens, topped by sliced grilled chicken breastsI love to make make baby spinach salads.What are some incredible recipes that you know for such awesome greens
    I wash my spinach in very cold water and then dry it with a salad spinner. This cuts down on waste. Nuts are good as a topper but try red onion and thinly sliced strawberries. A wonderful dressing can be made with the following:


    equal parts oil, red wine vinegar, and goat cheese.


    add three cloves garlic, salt and pepper.


    about 8 leaves of basil makes a world of difference also.


    -blend all with an emulsion blender and chill


    -fluff into the greens and add your toppings as usual


    -I think you will like it.
    Oh, I have something you'll love. Baby spinach, scallions (if you like them), chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds, figs (the ones in the package, salad department you'll have to chop them yourself), crumbled goat cheese (dairy isle in a round plastic container %26amp; don't say yuck:), white balsamic vinegar (not red, white), extra virgin olive oil, and if you like, grilled chicken breast. The ratio of oil to vinegar depends on your taste, but about half/half.





    So, here's what you do. Put the spinach in a large bowl. Add vinegar, then oil, toss it. Taste it! Too much vinegar...add more oil. Add the scallions, chopped nuts, figs, goat cheese and chicken. Toss it and I'm telling you, it's great! You can leave out the figs or substitute cranberries, scallions or chicken if you want, but the more the merrier! Like everything, each time is an improvement. Happy salad, happy dance!

    Serves 4


    Preparation time 30 mins to 1 hour


    Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour

    2 onions, peeled


    2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped


    2 sticks celery, roughly chopped


    2 medium leeks, chopped


    1 handful parsley stalks


    3 bay leaves


    1 large sprig thyme


    small handful peppercorns


    salt


    4 pints water


    For the salad:


    1 poached chicken (see recipe above)


    125g/4oz French beans, cooked for 4 minutes, then rinsed in cold water


    55g/2oz broad beans, cooked for 45 seconds, rinsed in cold water and peeled


    150g/5oz anchovy fillets


    150g/5oz black or green seedless grapes, halved


    1 orange, peeled and sliced


    6 cherry tomatoes, halved


    12 radishes


    6 baby beetroot, cooked


    12 spring onions, sliced


    6 soft boiled eggs


    55g/2oz toasted flaked almonds


    55g/2oz plump raisins


    packet lamb's lettuce


    handful beet or baby chard leaves (or plain lettuce)


    handful of mixed, chopped chervil, tarragon, parsley and chives


    (the herbs and leaves are based solely on what you are able to find)


    The dressing


    陆 orange, juice and zest


    陆 lemon, juice and zest


    200ml/7fl oz extra virgin olive oil


    60ml/2fl oz red wine vinegar


    salt and freshly ground black pepper





    Method


    1. To poach the chicken: put the chicken in a large pan and add the vegetables, herbs and spices. Add the water, making sure that the level is at least 5cm/2in above the top of the chicken.


    2. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, making sure that you skim the fat from the top of the pan every five minutes or so. (You can test whether or not the chicken is done by piercing the thickest part of the leg with a knife; if the juices run clear the chicken is cooked).


    3. You can either allow the chicken to cool in the pan or remove it and you also have a lovely pan of chicken stock.


    4. While the chicken cooks, get ready the vegetables that require cooking. Cook the eggs. putting them into plenty of furiously boiling water, return to the boil and leave for 6 minutes, drain and then leave them under cold running water until quite cold. (Remember to peel them under water and place in water until required). Wash the salad leaves, chop the herbs.


    5.Once cooled strip the chicken and break the flesh into strips. Cut the beetroots, tomatoes and eggs in half lengthwise and then start assembling the salad.


    6. Lay the leaves down first, then the chicken and then the rest of the ingredients in layers.


    7. Make the dressing:


    mix the zests and juices with the vinegar, salt and pepper, whisk in the olive oil and then pour over the salad and serve.

    1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onions (such as Vidalia)


    3/4 cup chopped celery


    1/2 cup chopped pecans


    1/2 cup of seedless green grapes, sliced in halves


    1/2 cup of seedless red grapes, sliced in halves


    1 cup mayonnaise


    1/2 cup of sour cream


    salt and pepper to taste





    In a large bowl combine the first 4 ingredients. In a separate bowl stir the mayonnaise and sour cream together, then combine with chicken mixture. Gently fold in the grapes. Season to taste. Chill for about an hour before serving.


    Makes 4 to 6 servings.
    1 cup each mayonnaise and seedless red grapes, halved


    1/2 cup chutney, chopped

    1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper


    1 1/2 pound cooked skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into pieces

    Chicken Salad Recipe





    makes enough for four sandwiches





    Ingredients:





    3 large, cooked chicken breasts, chilled


    1/2 cup chopped celery


    1/3 cup crushed walnuts


    1/2 cup halved seedless red grapes


    1/8 cup finely chopped fresh marjoram


    3/4 cup mayonnaise


    1 tsp freshly ground black peppercorns


    1/2 tsp paprika


    Preparation:








    You can, of course, bake some chicken specifically to use it in chicken salad, but that would certainly not be a fast meal. It is easiest to use some already cooked chicken, left over from another meal. If you do decide to use fresh chicken, cook it however you wish and then let it cool.





    1. Thoroughly wash the celery and the seedless red grapes. Chop the celery into 1/4 inch slices, and halve the red grapes.





    2. De-bone the chicken and remove the skin.





    3. Chop the chicken meat to your desired texture.





    4. Crush the walnuts.





    5. Put the chopped celery, halved seedless red grapes, chopped chicken, and crushed walnuts together in a bowl. Mix well.





    6. Grind the black peppercorns and finely chop the fresh marjoram.





    7. In a small bowl, put the black pepper, marjoram, and paprika into the mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.





    8. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the main bowl and mix well.





    9. Chill for at least one hour, then serve, either by itself, on sandwiches, or however you wish. Enjoy!

    Seeking recipe for Tropical Waldorf Fruit Salad?

    Any ideas what the sauce could be? Maybe yogurt? Does anyone know of or have this recipe (or a very similar one)? I wouldn't want any meat in it.Seeking recipe for Tropical Waldorf Fruit Salad?

    Try a box of vanilla pudding mix, and a tub of cool whip. I make a similar salad with pistachio pudding and pineapple. Just make sure you use the juice from the oranges, that's what makes it work.
    i would use either plain yogurt or sour cream, either thinned down with fruit juice, papya mango or what ever, pineapple coconut macadamia nuts mandrian oranges mango etc.

    WILTED SPINACH SALAD








    2 ea. Eggs, hard boiled, diced


    1 lb. fresh spinach


    1/2 pound sliced bacon


    1/3 cup red wine vinegar


    2 Tbl Chef Johnny's Creole Mustard or a course ground tangy mustard.


    1/2 French baguette


    3 Tbls olive oil


    1 clove garlic





    Heat he oven to 400 degrees. Using the bread knife cut the baguette into 1/4-inch slices. Brush the olive oil over both sides of each slice of bread, setting the slices on the baking sheet. Bake in the heated oven until toasted and golden brown, turning over the slices once; 7-10 minutes. Strike the garlic clove lightly with the flat of the chef's knife, peel off the skin, and cut the clove in half. Rub one side of each slice of toasted bread with the cut sides of the garlic, and discard the clove. Set the croutons aside.





    Discard the tough stems and ribs from the spinach then wash the leaves in cold water. Tear the leaves into large pieces. Dry the spinach on the dishtowel or in a salad spinner and place into a large mixing bowl.


    Place the frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is crisp and the fat is rendered (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from the heat and add the bacon fat to the spinach. There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon fat. Chop the bacon and toss the bacon and spinach together vigorously until the spinach is slightly wilted, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour the vinegar into the frying pan and return to heat. Bring it to a boil, stirring to dissolve the pan juices. Boil for about 1 minute reducing by 1/3. Add the Creole Mustard and blend well bringing again to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the vinegar mixture over the spinach and bacon, and toss together well until the spinach is evenly coated in dressing. Serve the salad on individual plates and sprinkle each serving with diced hard-boiled egg white and yolk. Serves at once with the croutons.I need a recipe for welted salad. please?

    1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard


    3 tablespoons butter

    DIRECTIONS





    1. Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.


    2. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.


    3. Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing.

    Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper.


    Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
