Catalina Spinach Salad

Description: One of my family's favorite salads. The dressing is wonderful served on other salad greens. When I make this, I normally double the dressing part -- just to have the next couple days on other salads.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 (10 ounce) bags spinach, torn
• 2 large tomatoes, diced
• 1 (6 ounce) can water chestnuts, sliced and drained (optional)
• 2 cups chow mein noodles
• 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 12 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (or can use jarred bacon bits)

Steps:

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake well.
2. Combine remaining ingredients in large salad bowl; add dressing and toss. Serve immediately.
