Spinach salad and award winning dressing

SPINACH SALAD (Served at the high priest dinner November 4, 2011).

Marinade for spinach salad:
1 ½ tsp. poppy seeds
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp finely chopped red onion
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp cottage cheese

Mix together; it has to be stirred constantly while putting on the salad because it separates very fast.  This makes 1 pint of dressing (up to 34 tbsp).  I put two tbsp on the salad at the dinner, but 1 tbsp goes pretty far.  I love this dressing on most of my salads, it is 56 calories per tbsp.

We garnished the spinach with:
Craisins
Real bacon bits
Sliced almonds
Sliced red onion
Mandarin oranges
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
(You can use any yummy thing you have in your pantry).

I was in great dilemma since last two days about what to do with all the spinach I picked up at the grocer's. Just starting off with real cooking, you see. Thanks for posting this! Spinach salad it is! :)
