FRIDAY FARE: Healthy Recipe - Spinach Floret Salad

Guest blogger, Shannon Stahura...

The recipe today comes from a magazine... "Taste of Home Great: American Cookout" July issue. If I did tweak it, I would reduce sugar to 1/2 cup and use canola oil instead of vegetable oil, I would omit radishes, make mushrooms optional and probably change the title to Spinach Salad.

I was really impressed with this recipe, not just because it tastes great, but because it is filled with lots of healthy greens which are always high in vitamin and mineral content.

Spinach Floret Salad

1 bunch of spinach (or bag)
2 cups of chopped iceberg lettuce
2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups cauliflowerets

3 fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 radishes, sliced

1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Toss first 9 ingredients and (bacon optional). Blend all of the dressing ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Toss salad with dressing and serve.
