Spinach Salad

This salad is one my Aunt Melanie made for all our family gatherings. I love how it tastes and the memories it provides.

2- 1 lb. fresh spinach
8 slices of bacon- fried crisped and crumbled
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced
3 or 4 chopped green onions
1-5 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained
alternative, 1-16 oz. can bean sprouts, drained

Dressing:
1 cup salad oil
1 cup vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tsp. salt

I like to use Olive Oil, and I don't pour the dressing on until just before serving. This is a large salad. If you cut the salad recipe in half, be sure to cut the dressing in half too.
