Spinach and Mushroom Salad

This is my "go-to" salad that I usually make when I'm asked to bring a salad. It seems to compliment anything you serve with it and it's one of my favorites:

Spinach and Mushroom Salad
1 lb. fresh spinach
1/2 head lettuce
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms
1 cup cottage cheese
1 c swiss cheese, grated
1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced

dressing:
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp minced purple onion
3/4 cup olive oil (I use 1/2 cup--I like the 1:1 ratio with the vinegar)
2 tsp poppyseed (optional)
