Spinach, Bacon, and Avocado Salad image

I commandeered this recipe from a colleague after tasting it at a work party. The spinach/bacon/avocado combination is absolutely divine and can be vaguely healthy if turkey bacon is used!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces Baby Spinach, rinsed and spun dry
10 slices bacon, grilled until crisp and chopped
3 avocados, peeled, halved, stoned, and chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
3 ounces pine nuts, toasted (optional)
3 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced (optional)
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed (it really makes a difference!)

Steps:

  • Prep spinach, bacon, avocado, and tomato/pine nuts/egg, if using. Place in a bowl, tossing together with two large spoons. Set aside.
  • Add remaining ingredients to a small bowl and beat together with a fork until thoroughly blended.

I've been making this salad for years and it's always a favorite. It's so versatile and you can add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. I love adding some chopped hard-boiled eggs or crumbled feta cheese.
