It's so easy to just throw together a salad for a side dish to dinner. But, it's time to take a break from those pre-made bags of salad from the produce section. This spinach salad of mine is a treat of a salad. It's so flavorful that it will leave your taste buds jumping.
Simply fantastic.
Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, hard boiled
- 7 slices thick cut bacon
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 10 ounces baby spinach, washed
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove to a paper towel. Drain the grease into a bowl & set aside. Cook the sliced onion in the skillet slowly until caramelized and reduced.
Chop the bacon. Peel & slice the eggs.
Make the hot bacon dressing. Mix 3 tablespoons of reserved bacon fat, vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, & salt to a small saucepan or skillet over medium high heat. Whisk together & heat thoroughly until bubbly.
Add the spinach to a large bowl. Arrange the onions & bacon on top. Pour the hot dressing on, toss to combine, & then top with the egg slices.
