Chico Inn Spinach Salad With Creamy Italian Dressing image

This recipe comes from the R.S.V.P. section in a November 1988 issue of Bon Appetit. It was requested from the Chico Hot Springs Lodge and Ranch in Pray, Montana. The dressing is what makes this salad especially good!

Easy and quick to make. The only thing I would change is adding some cooked bacon for extra flavor.

Followed the recipe except I used a store-bought creamy Italian dressing. It was still really good, but I think it would be even better with homemade dressing.

Amazing flavor! I was skeptical about the creamy Italian dressing, but it was a perfect complement to the spinach and other ingredients. Will definitely make this again!
