To me, summer time calls for barbecued burgers, potato salad, watermelon and a nice green salad with a light dressing. My mouth is watering already! Lucky for me, summer has arrived (at least it feels that way where I live in Florida) and, lucky for you, I have the best summer salad recipe to share with you. What makes this salad is the dressing, it's sweet and light all at the same time.

1 bag spinach
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 red onion
1 can smokehouse almonds
1 can mandarin oranges

Dressing:
1/3 Cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
