Spinach Salad

Special Spinach Salad


Fry bacon till crispy, or just done (or microwave on high for about 2-4 minutes.  Maybe check it after 2 minutes and re-arrange, cover with paper towel to stop splattering on the inside of the microwave.)
Buy beetroot with fresh leaves and use the beetroot leaves, or use swiss chard, normal spinach, or baby spinach. Cut out the stalk, then cut the leaves in thin shreds.
If you like the crunchy texture and the taste of celery, cut the leafy bits of the celery into thin shreds.
Cut a whole spring onion into thin slices the white and the green part, or two (depends on size and how much you like the taste)
Cut two tomatoes in cubes, or use half a punnet of baby tomatoes.
Add olives to taste.
Add finely cut parsley to taste or a tsp dried parsley.
Cut up the cooled bacon in strips.
Add a slice of feta cheese, crumbed or cubed.
Add a few thin slivers of cucumber cut into 4.

Optional Extra: Sprinkle with pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Salad dressing
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and add 4 tablsp oil.
Add a pinch of mustard powder.
Add a garlic segment or two depending on the size.
Use minced garlic, garlic press, or liquidise all the ingredients together.
Pour over the salad and toss. 

Obviously: Leave out the things you don't like and add any other ingredients you love
