If you are looking for something to make for dinner or to take to your next BBQ look no further- I'm going to share my most absolute Favorite Summertime salad with you. We have a neighborhood party tonight & have been assigned to bring a salad & I'm making it!
{even though we just had it for Father's Day on Sunday}
The reason I adore this salad is it is so fresh & goes well with grilled chicken, steaks or just burgers & hot dogs.

Spinach-Mushroom Salad
Salad:
1 bunch Spinach {washed, spun dry & torn into bite sized pieces}
1 head of Red Leaf Lettuce {Wash, dry & tear up also}
3/4 lb. sliced Mushrooms
3/4 lb. grated Swiss Cheese
1 lb. container of Cottage Cheese {drained, & added to salad right before dressing. I usually dump into a colander & rinse with cold water & then set aside}
3/4 lb. Bacon {crisp & crumbled up}
--Toss all Salad ingredients into a pretty bowl to serve & set aside. This does make a good sized salad so make sure you put it in a big enough bowl.
Dressing:
{*I like to make this a bit ahead of time so all the ingredients can sit together & the flavors can really develop}
1 Tbsp. Poppy Seeds
1/3 C. White Vinegar
1/3 C. Sugar
3/4 C. Vegetable Oil
1 Red Onion {thinly sliced & cut into half moon shapes}
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Dry Mustard
Prepare dressing & pour over salad right before serving. Toss well & Enjoy!

This salad was so yummy the other day. I was going to ask for the recipe. Too bad I didn't get any bacon because AJQ was all over it. :)
