Kristie's Spinach Salad

1.5 lbs of fresh spinach (I used 1/2 of a 3 lb bag)

3 large apples (I prefer pink lady or Gala, but you can use any)

1 pckg bacon (I use turkey bacon, you can't tell the difference and it's better for you)

1/4 cup ">Wildtree Asian Ginger Plum dressing

Start cooking the bacon (I cook mine on the George Foreman grill) while the bacon is cooking, wash and drain the spinach. Put in a large bowl and set aside. Peel the apples and chop them up into little pieces (bigger or smaller depending on your preference). Add the apples to the bowl of spinach. After cooking the package of bacon, allow to cool, then crumble up and add to the bowl. Add in the 1/4 cup of Asian dressing and mix until all ingredients are mixed and coated.

You can eat and enjoy right away, or put in the refrigerator and allow the flavors to blend for an hour or so. Serves 6-8 people.
