Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into large dice
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups (loosely packed) baby spinach leaves
1 Anjou pear, peeled, cored, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup coarsely grated Asiago cheese (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into fine dice
2 tablespoons shallot, minced

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over moderately high heat, sauté the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the spinach with half the dressing.
  • 3. Divide the spinach among 4 plates. Top with the pear slices. Sprinkle the bacon, cheese, red pepper, and shallot over each plate. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.
