Bacon Spinach Salad

This is a very tasty Bacon Spinach Salad,
it's got plenty of fresh mushrooms and all
kinds of good for you ingredients.
Every time I serve this I am
asked for the recipe. It is so good.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/2 pound bacon
2 pounds spinach, rinsed and chopped
2 3/4 ounces croutons
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon-style mustard

Directions:
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water.
Bring water to a boil. Cover, remove from heat,
and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from hot water, and cool. Once cool, peel and chop.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.
Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
Drain, crumble and set aside.
Prepare the dressing in a blender by combining
the onion, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar, pepper,
celery seed and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth.
In a large salad bowl, combine the eggs, bacon,
spinach, croutons and mushrooms. Toss to mix.
Pour enough dressing over salad to lightly coat.
Toss and serve.
