  2. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss together 5 oz fresh spinach, 2 hard-boiled eggs (chopped), 1/4 cup minced red onion, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled), and 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved).
