Spinach Salad With Warm Gorgonzola Dressing image

This is a fantastic spinach salad recipe, and one I have made many times for dinner parties. This salad is so good that it can really be served as a main meal, and also compares to the spinach salads that are served at the fancy restaurants, if not BETTER! You can use Roquefort in place of the gorgonzola...once you have tryed this salad you'll be hooked! This is a salad you make often!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (10 ounce) bags Baby Spinach (purchase the washed and ready to use bags)
4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small red onion, thinly sliced (use only red onion for this)
1 1/2 cups sliced black olives (can use more or less olives)
12 slices bacon, cut into about 1-inch pieces (can use more or less bacon)
2 cups gorgonzola
1/4 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
salt and black pepper

Steps:

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the dressing is too heavy.

I found this salad to be bland. I would recommend adding some more flavorful ingredients, such as tomatoes or croutons.

This salad is a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less gorgonzola cheese in the dressing.

I had some trouble finding gorgonzola cheese at my local grocery store. I ended up using blue cheese instead, and it worked just fine.
