Hearty Wilted Spinach Salad Recipe

My father-in-law, who passed away last year, introduced me to this fantastic wilted spinach salad! Roger would always serve it at Christmas dinner, and it was something everyone looked forward to! I can remember a few times he didn’t make it for one reason or another, and he got a lot of flack for it!

Having it last night for dinner brought back so many memories of this remarkable man! He didn’t cook often, but when he did, he knocked it out of the park!

This wilted spinach salad is easy to make, yet it has this elegance! The picture doesn’t do it justice! Last night I served it with grilled chicken, but I’ve had it with roasted pork loin and prime rib, which works equally well with those! My kids are usually picky about the salad, but this seems to be the one that pleases everyone!
