Ingredients

1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lb fresh spinach, stemmed, rinsed, and patted dry
1 ripe avocado, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
8 slices lean streaky bacon
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard, and whisk until well blended. Add the sugar, garlic, and salt and pepper; stir well and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, avocado, and onion; set aside.
In a large skillet, fry the bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, and crumble coarsely. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons grease from skillet, add the oil plus the vinegar-mustard mixture, and stir until dressing is hot. Pour dressing over spinach mixture and toss well. Add the bacon and eggs, toss well again, and taste for seasoning. Serve salad immediately.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe spinach. If using baby spinach, you don't need to chop it.
Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will add more flavor to the salad.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy in the salad.
Use ripe avocados. Avocados that are too hard will not be as flavorful.
Add the dressing to the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
