Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

Bacon… it’s quite a food trend these days! Aside from the plethora of savory dishes, you’ll see it in sweets such as cupcakes, muffins, cakes, even chocolate. I love my share of bacon but I still like classic recipes that it’s used in. One such recipe is this Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing…

This salad is one of my favorites because it captures all sorts of tastes and textures – sweet, salty, sour, creamy, crunchy, etc. It’s a simple spinach salad of baby spinach, crisp bacon, sweet red onions, hard boiled eggs, sliced mushrooms and tying it all together is a sweet and sour dressing made with red wine vinegar and rendered bacon fat in place of olive oil. For an added punch of flavor, you could add some crumbled blue cheese (which I did add to leftovers – yum!).
