Recipe Submitted by Judi E. Stowell
2 eggs*
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup vinegar
2 cups vegetable oil
1 generous cup grated cheddar cheese

Fresh spinach
Bacon bits (homemade are best)

In a medium bowl beat together eggs, brown sugar, Worcestershire, salt and mustard for 2 minutes. Add horseradish and mix well. Very slowly add 1/2 cup of the vegetable oil. Combine vinegar and lemon juice in a 1 cup measure. Add vinegar mixture alternately with remaining oil to the egg mixture, beginning and ending with oil. Keep beating all the time, then beat 1-2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a blender container and process until mixture is thick and creamy. With a wooden spoon mix in grated cheddar and chopped green onions. Refrigerate until ready to use. Wash and dry spinach and put in large salad bowl. Add croutons and enough dressing to coat well. Top with bacon bits and serve. Enjoy the best spinach salad you'll ever have.
