Nancy, there was a recent request for a wilted spinach salad. I had not eaten one of these in years and for some strange reason began craving one, so I read many recipes on the internet and found one that was perfect. It's easy and very tasty; I've made it twice in the last two weeks. My DH loves it!

Wilted Spinach Salad

12 ounces fresh spinach
6 green onions, sliced
6 radishes, sliced
2 hard-cooked eggs
2 slices bacon
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Wash spinach; tear into bite-sized pieces. Add onions and radishes. Refrigerate, tightly covered. Peel and slice eggs. Microwave bacon on high, covered with paper towel, in 2-cup microwave-safe measure 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon; set aside.

Add remaining ingredients to drippings. To make ahead, prepare to this point. Complete just before serving. Microwave on high, uncovered, 45 to 60 seconds or until mixture boils. Pour over greens in salad bowl; toss lightly. Top with sliced egg and crumbled bacon. A delicate dressing that flavors the salad as it wilts fresh greens.

Note: I made about half again as much dressing the second time - much better.
