Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
A salad worth gushing over
This is a super simple but extremely satisfying salad recipe. It barely needs a recipe and you can see a how to video in my Reels on Instagram. It’s hefty enough to eat alone as dinner but is a real treat served with a super thin chicken cutlet.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
4 slices of thick cut bacon, cut into lardons a.k.a ¼” thick strips
1 small shallot, sliced
2 heaping tablespoons of red wine or apple cider vinegar
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (this amount depends on how much fat your bacon renders out)
6 ounces (this is very approximate, think about half the box) organic baby spinach
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
A hunk of blue cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground black pepper
Here’s How:
Cook the bacon on medium low heat in a small skillet until all the fat has rendered out and the bacon is crispy.
Turn off the heat and add the sliced shallot, vinegar and olive oil (if using). Season with a pinch of salt.
Place your spinach in either a big serving bowl or individual bowls. Top with the still warm bacon dressing, the eggs, blue cheese and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
