Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the salad oil, sugar, ketchup, and vinegar. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. (24 hours)

02

Step

Prepare the eggs: Gently place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. This will ensure perfectly cooked, yet tender, hard-boiled eggs. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel and slice or quarter them. (25 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the bacon: Place the bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy and evenly browned, flipping occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced eggs, crumbled bacon, torn spinach, chopped water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and sliced mushrooms. Just before serving, drizzle the chilled dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil to the dressing.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Similarly, if you like a more tangy dressing, increase the amount of vinegar.
To save time, you can cook the bacon and boil the eggs a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Make sure to toss the salad with the dressing just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.
