Sweet & Savory Spinach Salad

By

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.

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.
