Another Sammich Challenge has stretched my concept of salads. I love Spinach salad with the hard cooked eggs, bacon, mushrooms and sweet and sour dressing. Why not make it into a sandwich? Here's my take on a Spinach Salad Sandwich. :) I have pics, but just changed to the new Windows 7 Operating System and do not have all my programs reloaded. I will post my pics as soon as possible. :)

    Wash and pat the spinach dry, slice mushrooms and radishes. To assemble: Place a handful of spinach leaves on flatbread or in pita pocket. Drizzle with a little dressing (or you can toss the spinach with some of the dressing before using). Spoon in about 1/3 to 1/2 c. of egg salad and top with sliced mushrooms and radishes. Sprinkle with bacon bits for garnish.
  • 3
    Dressing (This is my sister's Poppy Seed dressing which I used without the toasted poppy seeds.) Makes a large batch so cut it in half if desired. In a food processor place 1/2 c. sugar, 1 tsp. dry ground mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1/3 c. cider vinegar, 2 Tbsp of onion juice or finely grated onion. Pulse together until sugar is mostly dissolved. Turn on processor and slowly drizzle in approximately 3/4 c. vegetable oil, (Not olive) and continue processing until thickened. (For Poppy seed dressing, add 2 Tbsp toasted poppy seeds and pulse on and off a few times to distribute) Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
