Warm Bacon Spinach Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
  • 10 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 4 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Gather the necessary ingredients and place them in a large serving bowl; position the Swiss cheese, hard-cooked eggs, mushrooms, 4 crumbled strips of bacon, and almonds in a visually appealing arrangement.
2
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; this will allow the oil to warm up and become suitable for sautéing. Introduce shallots and garlic into the skillet, stirring constantly to facilitate their cooking; continue this process until the shallots have softened and become translucent, approximately 2 minutes. Combine the vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and 2 crumbled strips of bacon in the skillet; stir until heated through, ensuring a smooth consistency. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Pour hot dressing over the spinach in the serving bowl, utilizing a gentle tossing motion to evenly coat the leaves.
