Hot Summer Night Spinich Salad

I really do cook all kinds of wonderful things and since I began this blogging process, it seems like I have just cooked on a whim every night.  The night before I started blogging, I cooked for my friend, Val.  She is a great woman that is battling breast cancer and has a nasty case of Celiac.  I am very careful in my kitchen and before I cooked for her, I washed all the pots and pans again, even after they had gone through the dishwasher.  I made homemade Mac and Cheese, German potato salad, and a wonderful Apricot Lemon cake.  Those recipes will come later!  And trust me, you won't know that you eating gluten free food!


So, it's 100 degrees in Arkansas and we tonight are having a salad supper!

Spinach Salad

4 slices crisp bacon, drained
1 Tbsp. bacon drippings
4 Tbsp. olive or veg oil
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 lb. raw spinach, washed and well drained
6 green onions, sliced
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
