When I was young my mom and I went to a popular department store and ate at their lunch counter. They had a house spinach salad to die for. I was so lucky to acquire the recipe when I got married. This has been a salad I have used for ladies luncheons that I have catered. But, I have found that when I serve this with a steak dinner with friends that the men enjoy this salad equally.
