It wasn’t the only copy, I had mom e-mail that to me years ago and I still have it printed out in my kitchen. But yes rescue missions are good here.

No, no. He meant the only copy on a card. I pulled it out of the recipe box and the thing felt like it was going to fall apart in my hands!

Yummy! Sounds totally delicious! Thanks so much for linking this up at this month’s salad round up! It’s still open if you have others :-)

Quick ?, for the dressing it asks for vinegar… is it apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or regular distilled vinegar?
Thank you,
Adriana

I like apple cider but white will do. By regular distilled I believe is the same thing as white.

I used to make this or a version of it some years ago. I liked the flavors, but disliked chewing the spinach leaves which, to me, have an odd texture. I wonder how the salad would do with romaine lettuce instead of the spinach?
DrDan
Hi Joan,
Try “baby” spinach. The smaller the leaves, the more tender. You can try it with romaine. Most of the flavor does come from the other ingredients.
Thanks for the note

Hi Anne,
I think the card is classic. You can’t even read part of it due to the food stains. I still have it but now I look on the blog when I need it.
Thanks for the note
