Ingredients

Spinach Salad

  • 4 strips bacon
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 1 small onion, sliced (red or white onion)
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs

Warm Bacon Dressing

Instructions

Spinach Salad

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook 4 pieces of bacon. When cooked, remove the bacon to a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Break bacon into small pieces. Pour the bacon fat into a medium bowl.
  • Boil the eggs to make hard boiled eggs. See notes below for how I make mine.
  • In a large bowl, add fresh baby spinach, sliced onions, sliced mushrooms, bacon pieces, and sliced hard boiled eggs.

Warm Bacon Dressing

  • In the medium bowl with the bacon drippings, add 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour immediately over salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I recommend using Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe to make the hard boiled eggs. Otherwise, you can cook eggs in boiling water until they become hard boiled. 
  2. Use Fresh baby spinach. Frozen spinach will not work in this recipe.
  3. It is important to cook the bacon immediately before assembling the salad and the dressing because you need the bacon drippings to still be warm.
  4. If you like, add sliced avocado, or crumbled feta or bleu cheese.
