Did I really not post anything in the month of February. Sheesh. Yay for Emily (E4Mle) starting to post here. It's good to get some new recipes!
Tonight we had my favorite salad for dinner. We do lots of variations on it. The dressing rocks with a tangy bite to it. I think the recipe comes from a woman who ran a hotel/restaurant we used to go to in Ohio...yep, thank you Wikipedia: "Betty's Salad is a regional, Midwest salad created by Betty Timko and featured as a menu item at her restaurant, Timko's Soup and Such, in Toledo, Ohio. The restaurant was located in a brick building at the Northwest corner of Sylvania and Douglas Roads of the Devaux Village strip mall in West Toledo. After Betty died, the restaurant closed, and her signature salad dressing is still produced and distributed at regional grocery stores."
Anyway, we ate this a lot growing up and I still love it. I've just tweaked it to use veggie bacon in place of the real thing.
Salad:
lettuce (mixed, iceberg, romaine, whatever you have on hand)
fresh spinach
fresh bean sprouts
chopped boiled egg
crumbled bacon
Dressing (combine in blender or food processor):
1/2 c ketchup
3/4 c veg. oil
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, chopped (optional...I sometimes replace this with onion powder or just drop it all together)
salt & pepper to taste
Additions we've tried: roasted potatoes, blanched green beans, fresh tomatos.
Tonight we used mixed greens, skipped the spinach, and added a medley of roasted beets, potatos, and parsnips. Yum.

MMMM! I haven't had this in forever. Should add it to the list for Easter...unless you've already got a salad planned.
