A refreshing and crunchy spinach salad with a tangy homemade dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Combine the fresh spinach, thinly-sliced radishes, chopped green onions, and sliced water chestnuts in a large salad bowl.
Ensure the spinach leaves are thoroughly washed and dried for the best texture.
Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then crumble them into small pieces.
Use a paper towel to blot excess grease from the bacon for a lighter salad.
In a dressing shaker, combine the sugar, ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Shake well until fully mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid over-dressing the salad.
Serve the salad immediately with your choice of breadsticks or cornbread.
For a complete meal, pair the salad with a protein-rich side dish.
