Wilted spinach salad

Description: I served this terrific salad to guests and it was a hit! Pour the hot dressing over the salad right before serving time. I found this recipe in an old Farm Journal cookbook. Cook time is for the time it takes to boil the eggs and fry the bacon.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups spinach, washed,drained very well and torn into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 cup sliced green onion
• 3 hardboiled egg, coarsely chopped
• 5 slices bacon, chopped
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

1. Combine spinach, onions and eggs in a large salad bowl.
2. Cook bacon in skillet until crispy; remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
3. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
4. Add vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper to bacon drippings, heat to boiling, stirring to blend.
5. Pour over spinach mixture; toss gently.
6. Sprinkle with bacon.
