BECKY'S GRANDMA'S EGG & SPINACH SALAD

Becky's Grandma's Egg & Spinach Salad image

This delicious salad was served at a party and I asked the hostess, Becky, for her recipe. This was from her Grandma. The original recipe called for 16 ounces of spinach (torn), and only 6 slices of bacon. I have listed the recipe as Becky prepared it, she used about 2 1/2 bags of baby spinach and 18 slices of cooked bacon. The salad will get too weepy if left sitting too long, so plan to eat it all right away, this doesn't keep well once the dressing has been added. When I made this, I used a 250 g bag of baby spinach, about 8 strips of bacon, half the dressing, and I still used the 3 eggs.

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups diced diced and chilled cooked chicken meat
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup sliced seedless grapes
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.
Combine meat, celery, grapes, almonds, parsley, salt, and mayonnaise with whipped cream. Chill.

Tips:

Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach is more tender and flavorful than wilted spinach.
Hard-boil the eggs properly: To prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery, place them in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, then drain them and rinse them with cold water.
Use high-quality mayonnaise: A good mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy.
Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. If you are making it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Becky's Grandma's Egg Spinach Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs and fresh spinach.
