Tortellini spinach salad

WARNING:

Don't take this salad to a party unless you plan on giving out this recipe... or being asked to bring it again! EVERYONE loves it! It is a spin off of a salad we once tasted at Nellos pizza kitchen.... but better!Ingredients:

1 bag spinach (washed and dried)

1 container strawberries (washed stems picked out and strawberry sliced long)

*can substitute Mandarin oranges or craisins for the strawberries if you'd like.

1 container grape tomatoes

5 mushrooms (sliced)

4 hard boiled eggs (sliced)

1 purple onion (use 3/4 of it ~ sliced thin~ and the other 1/4 for poppy seed dressing)

* you can substitute green onion rather than purple onion if you'd like

1 pkg bacon (cooked crispy)

2 C shredded mozzarella cheese (don't put this on until ready to serve)

Wash and slice all ingredients as noted above. In a large bowl place spinach first. Then add all other veggies. Fruit, eggs, and bacon on top of that. Just before serving lightly toss and add the cheese.

This is divine with poppy seed dressing... recipe below.
