1 lb. fresh spinach
1 apple, unpeeled, cored and cut in thin wedges
2 tbsp. lemon juice
3 green onions, sliced
1 (2 oz.) pkg. toasted almonds, sliced
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/3 c. veg. oil
1/3 c. red wine vinegar
2 - 3 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Remove stems from spinach; wash leaves thoroughly and pat dry. Tear into bite-size pieces. Toss apple wedges in lemon juice; drain. Combine spinach, apple wedges, green onions and almonds; toss with bacon if desired. Combine oil and remaining ingredients in a jar. Cover tightly and shake vigorously (it's best if made the day before). Before serving, pour dressing over spinach mixture; toss. Yield: 6 servings.
