wilted Spinach Salad with Mandarin Oranges

In a large bowl add:

1/2 cup stevia (not concentrated)

6 cups loosely packed washed baby spinach

In a frying pan (cast iron if possible) cook 5 pieces bacon until almost crisp but not burnt.  Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel to remove excess fat.  Cut bacon up into small pieces. (I pour off as much excess fat as possible, periodically, while I'm cooking the bacon.)

In a clean frying pan (cast iron if possible) spray with butter flavored spray oil.  Turn frying pan to medium.

Add three thinly sliced large onions.  Sauté onions until soft but not well done.

Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar to the onions and continue to stir.

Add bacon pieces to the onions and apple cider vinegar and continue to stir for another 4 to 5 minutes.

While still hot, pour the onions, vinegar and bacon over the spinach and stir until well mixed.  The hot ingredients will slightly wilt the spinach.

Add 1 can drained and rinsed mandarin oranges.

Mix

Slice 3 large thinly sliced hard boiled eggs and place them on the top of the salad so they cover much of the salad.  Do not mix.

Add one cup shredded mozzarella cheese and spread on top of the salad.  Do not mix.

Ready to serve.  Delicious and nutritious.
