2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon slices into small pieces. Set aside.

3. In a large salad bowl, toss together the chopped spinach, sliced radishes, chopped green onions, and water chestnuts.

4. Now, it’s time to prepare the dressing. In a dressing bottle or jar, combine the sugar, catsup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.

5. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture in the bowl. Use as much or as little dressing as desired, depending on your taste preferences.

6. Once dressed, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the salad, adding a savory crunch to every bite.

7. Gently toss the salad to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing and the bacon is distributed throughout.

8. Your Spinach Salad is now ready to serve!
