Spinach Spread Or Salad(Serves 15) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 boxes frozen chopped spinach
1/2 c. celery, finely chopped
1/2 c. onion, finely chopped
3/4 c. Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. Miracle Whip
1 1/2 tsp. vinegar
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp. horseradish
2 hard-boiled eggs

Preparation

Thaw spinach and squeeze out all water.
Combine all ingredients except eggs.
If serving as salad use diced Cheddar cheese (1/2 inch cubes) and garnish top with sliced eggs.
If a cracker spread is desired, change Cheddar cheese to shredded variety and add a little more Miracle Whip for easier spreading. Eliminate eggs. Extra horseradish and Tabasco give it some real zip.
Also crumbled bacon as a garnish is an option.
