Rockin' Rice Salad

• 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
• 1 1/2 tsp Italian vinegar and oil salad dressing
• 1 1/2 tsp water
• 5 tbsp vegetable/olive oil
• 3 tbsp vinegar (whatever kind you choose)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (I used reduced sodium)
• 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
• 1 (8 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions (1 bunch) (I'm not a fan of green onions, so I use white onions chopped to taste instead)
• 1 1/2 cup chopped green olives
• 12 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled

1. Cook the rice according to the package directions.
2. In a medium serving bowl, combine the Italian vinegar and oil with the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Add the oil, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar (if using) and mix well.
4. When the rice is done, let cool for 5 to 10 minutes and then add to the bowl with the dressing.
5. Mix well.
6. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
7. Just before serving, stir in the spinach, celery, onions, olives and bacon.
