Posted by: Meg
As we anticipate spinach in our gardens in the coming months (or just buy the big tub from Sam's), I thought this would peak your interest.
½ C olive oil
½ C cider vinegar
¼ C sugar
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp celery seed
½ tsp dry mustard
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp Tabasco

Pour over fresh spinach, red onion, mushrooms, bacon, and eggs
