Ingredients

1/4 cup minced onion
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Combine onion, cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, sesame seeds and paprika in small bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons sugar. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add almonds. Stir until almonds begin to color, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over.

Cover separately and let stand at room temperature.)
Combine spinach and apples in large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Mix in almonds. Serve salad, passing any remaining dressing separately.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-washed and chopped spinach and pre-sliced apples.
For a sweeter salad, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji.
For a more tart salad, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
If you don't have any walnuts, you can substitute pecans or almonds.
For a vegan version of the salad, omit the bacon and use a plant-based dressing.
Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
