Spinach Salad



There's several versions of this salad. I got this recipe about 8 years ago from a former co-worker. It's one of my favorite salads.

1 cup cottage cheese, large curd
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked/diced
1 bermuda onion, sliced thin
3/4 to 1 lb. mushrooms, sliced umbrella style
2 packages fresh baby spinach
1 head lettuce (or small bag salad mix)
3/4 lb. swiss cheese, grated

Dressing:
2/3 cup vinegar
1 1/4 cup corn oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 TBSP poppy seeds

Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl, set aside. Mix dressing ingredients in a separate bowl or bottle with a tight lid. Mix or shake dressing before pouring over salad. Don't put dressing on salad until right before serving, otherwise the salad gets too wilted.
