I made this one last night for Brad,...and he said it was his FAVORITE salad I have ever made. And I've made a lot of salads! It's so good!!! Let me know what you think! :)
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
5-6 slices bacon
5 cups fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
3 kiwi's, sliced
1/2 mandarin orange, peeled and segmented (or one can)
DRESSING (put in a blender or food processer)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard (I used regular mustard and it was fine)
1 dash garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup seasoned croutons
DIRECTIONS
-Place the eggs in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and cool. Peel, chop, and set aside.
-Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until crisp and evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
-In a large bowl, toss together the eggs, bacon, spinach, mushrooms, strawberries, onion, kiwi, and orange.
-In a separate bowl, mix the ketchup, water, olive oil, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and brown mustard. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad mixture, and top the salad with croutons.

"Strawberries and spinach are delicious in the Spring, and tossed with other fresh ingredients, real bacon, and hard cooked eggs, they make a wonderful salad. A sweet, tangy oil and vinegar dressing tops it off!"
I was a little worried about making this salad with all the different ingredients...but it tasted so yummy! Thanks Shelley!
I absolutely loved this salad. It was light and springy but at the same time, a substantial meal. Yum!
