Then again I m in love with Asian flavors so that dressing could top many dishes and I would likely enjoy it!

Silver City had a warm bacon vinaigrette. I know, divine! I think they put liquid smoke in it too, as it was super smoky and yum.

A cold spinach salad, for me, would be like yours, with more of an Asian influence. Warm, though? Has to have bacon. It's the law.

I make a spinach salad at home that is horrible for water retention....lots o' salt in it, but it's really good. Fresh spinach, kalamata olives, feta, tomatoes, deli smoked ham, and Caesar Parmesan vinaigrette. Sometimes I'll throw some fresh button 'shrooms in there too.
