Sweet & Savory Spinach Salad
By Foodiewife
This salad is long overdue for a more updated photo, so I apologize for it's lackluster appearance (this is from my old point-and-shoot camera). Still it's a one that I still enjoy. There are two versions, but my favorite is the one with bean sprouts and water chestnuts, because I love the crunchiness! The dressing is both savory with some sweet.

- 1 bag baby spinach
- 1 can bean sprouts, drained

Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for your salad, set aside.
Dressing:
Cook the dressing ingredients until boiling. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Dress the salad right before serving. I am careful not to overdress the salad. This makes a lot of dressing for leftovers.
