Wilted Spinach Salad

To tell you the truth, I was a little leery - any recipe that starts out with the word "wilted" - but, Meg assured me it was one of their favorites so I gave it a try. And everyone LOVED it, even my husband who is really not a big spinach fan. I'm definitely adding this to our family's list of favorites. :)
