In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 c. sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 c. margarine and 1/2 c. Crisco and 1 tsp. vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Add cooled milk mixture and beat until fluffy again.

I always have a bottle of the Spinach Salad dressing in my frig. I love it hot over fresh spinach. The ingredients on the bottle are: veg oil, corn syrup, vinegar, water, sugar, salt, soy flour, lemon juice, onion, and spices. I suppose the secret is in the spices. The recipe I use when I don't have the bottle is:

Dressing:

1 c. oil
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. catsup
1/4 c. vinegar (cider)
1 med. onion diced
1 TB. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Accent (optional)

I always use a little of the bacon grease in the dressing too.

Pour over 1 bunch fresh spinach
1 can bean sprouts
1 can water chestnuts (sliced)
3 boiled eggs (sliced)
6 slices of bacon (fried crisp & crumbled)

Lightly grease a hot skillet or griddle with butter or oil, and fry the corn cakes for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Serve hot, topped with a few cilantro leaves or a dollop of guacamole, sour cream, your favorite salsa is good,too.
