Spinach Salad

All you need is a nice loaf of crusty bread to go with this salad and you have dinner! (how easy was that?!)

½ cup  extra virgin olive oil
½ cup  red wine vinegar
¼ cup  chopped red onion
¼ cup   sugar
1 ½ tsp  paprika
1 tsp dry mustard powder
1 tsp  salt
½ tsp  freshly cracked black pepper
10 oz   bag baby spinach
4  slices crisply* cooked bacon broken into bits
2  hard boiled eggs, sliced
8 oz   artichoke hearts, drained and cut in half

Mix all dressing in a jar and shake. Set aside. Immediately before serving, mix all ingredients in a large salad bowl and toss with the dressing. Enjoy

for crisp bacon - preheat oven to 400. Place the bacon side by side on a cookie sheet (do not overlap) cook for 15 minutes and drain on paper towels.  Take a cooking scissor and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
