Ingredients

Spinach Salad Dressing

1 cup extra virgin olive oil (200 grams)
1/3 cup ketchup (90 grams)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup sugar (148.5 grams)
1/4 cup vinegar (60 grams)
1 small white onion grated (see note)

Bacon Spinach Salad

10 ounces baby spinach stems removed (283.5 grams)
14 ounces bean sprouts drained (396 grams before draining)
8 ounces sliced water chestnuts drained (230 grams before draining)
3 hard boiled eggs
1 pound bacon diced and cooked (453.6 grams)
2 cups croutons (112 grams)

Instructions

To make the salad dressing, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Toss all of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Either add a small amount of dressing and toss to combine (adding the croutons after the dressing), or serve the dressing on the side.

Notes

Grating an onion can be time-consuming and annoying. I find it easier to dice the onion small and then add it to a food processor to mince it smaller, then add the remaining dressing ingredients and continue processing until smooth.
