I can't go very long before indulging my yen for spinach salad. Problem is, a recipe for 8 servings is too much. So the solution was to make up the recipe with ingredients stored salad bar style and ready to select, combine and dress. They will keep chilled several days like this, ready to go. One photo shows the separate ingredients as they will be stored. Another shows the salad dished up. I don't make the dressing up as the recipe indicates below. Instead I season the individual salad serving with salt and pepper, then drizzle with oil and vinegar to taste. The original recipe used 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in addition to the olive oil, but I use just the olive oil, and I opt for turkey bacon rather than pork. So make the whole recipe for serving at once, or prepare and chill ingredients for individual servings. Your choice!
