Chicken Citrus Salad

1 head romaine lettuce
1 bunch spinach
½ lb Monterey Jack cheese, grated
3 chicken breasts cooked, chopped
1 (8 oz) can mandarin oranges
1 (5 oz) pkg slivered almonds
¼ cup sugar
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
Dressing:
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 ½ cup vegetable oil
3 tsp. poppy seeds

Cook slivered almonds on stove with the ¼ cup of sugar . Mix all ingredients and pour dressing on right before serving. Lots of variations for all occasions; you can skip chicken and oranges and use pomegranate seeds and avocado to make a Christmas salad.
