This easy salad recipe is a snap to put together. I make it on repeat all fall long. To start, this recipe needs hard-boiled eggs and salad croutons. Arrange the sliced eggs and mushrooms, halved cherry tomatoes, croutons, pitted olives, and sliced red onions over the fresh spinach. Next, crisp up some bacon, reserving a few tablespoons of pan drippings. Use the drippings to sauté the onions until soft. Then add in the sugar, ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Simmer the dressing until thickened. To serve, sprinkle the salad with bacon and drizzle the bacon dressing over the top. Enjoy!
