The other day I wanted to make a salad for mom but a lot of the ingredients I wanted to use weren’t available.  We had spinach so I thought I would make her a traditional spinach salad (with hard boiled egg, tomato, bacon, red onion, maybe a little avocado.) But we didn’t have bacon, onions or avocado and I didn’t have time to boil eggs.  So I came up with a new salad: fried egg spinach salad with cheddar cheese, tomatoes and pumpkin seeds (with a simple sherry viniagrette).  Mom loved it!
