Spinach Salad

1 Head of Lettuce
1 Bag of Spinach
3/4 Pound Fresh, Sliced Mushrooms
3/4 Pound Swiss Cheese, Grated
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Red Onion
1/2 Pound Bacon, Cooked and Crumbled
1 Cup Mandarin Oranges
1/2 Cup Slivered Almonds

Cook sugar and almonds together over low heat to carmalize. After the nuts are caramelized, be sure to take out the hard sugar clusters. Mix spinach, lettuce, mushrooms, cheese, oranges, bacon, onions, and almonds in a bowl. Toss.

Poppy Seed Dressing:
3/4 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
1/3 Cup White Vinegar
3/4 Cup Oil
2 Tablespoons Prepared Mustard
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/2 of 3/4 cup Grated Onion
3/4 Teaspoon Salt

Combine all ingredients. Shake and chill. Dressing lasts a long time in the fridge. If it separates, just shake well.
