Baby Spinach & Pine Nut Salad with Creamy Bacon Dressing image

I really enjoy spinach based salad with creamy dressings and this simple recipe is really great. Depending on the type of mayo you use this recipe can also be suitable for low carb diets. Serves four as a side salad, or 1-2 people as lunch. From a newspaper clipping.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. It's also very versatile. I've added grilled chicken, avocado, and even berries to it.
