BYU-Idaho Spinach Salad

September 15, 2015 by Sadie Leave a Comment

BYU-Idaho is a school in Rexburg Idaho. They have a fabulous cafeteria and their Spinach Salad the best i've ever had!! I am so happy to have the recipe and to be able to share it with all of you.

Picture 
This is possibly one of my favorite salads! If you aren't familiar with the BYU-Idaho catering department do yourself a favor and never start! They make the most incredible food!
 
Seriously, I haven't tried anything from there that I didn't love! So here's where the love affair started...my mom ordered from the catering department on several occasions for weddings and parties, so the addiction began! I would call and place an order on Wednesday so it would be ready for Friday pickup before I headed back to Blackfoot for the weekend. I truly only did this a couple times and the order was always the same..... a 1/4 sheet cake (wedding cake, rosettes and all! haha) and either this delicious salad or a snickers salad (stay posted, recipe coming soon!) Seriously, I hope you love this salad as much as I do!

Spinach, large container
1 lb. Swiss cheese, grated
1 purple onion, finely chopped

***This makes a huge salad for a large crowd. It easily served 20 family members at a reunion this summer. I doubled the salad but not the dressing.
