Chasen's Original Spinach Salad image

Chasen's was the "in" place in Hollywood for many years until it closed a few years ago. We got this recipe out of one of the "ladies' magazines" over 40 years ago. We thought we had lost the recipe but it has turned up - and I am glad.

The dressing was a little too tangy for my liking. I would recommend using less vinegar.

This salad was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon.
