Spinach Salad with Cashews

I love the salad dressing with this recipe. It uses part of the drippings from the cooked bacon. Yum!

1 pound Fresh Spinach
8 slices Bacon
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1 small Onion, grated
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup White Vinegar
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 pound Fresh Mushroom, sliced
2 cups Whole Cashews
Parmesan Cheese for topping

For dressing, fry bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Add olive oil, vinegar and 1/4 cup Parmesan to drippings, mix well. Put mayonnaise in a separate bowl and add the bacon mixture, stirring while adding. Assemble desired ingredients for salad and dress.
