Though this salad was originally meant for mache, baby spinach is an acceptable substitute. The spinach is dressed with a Dijon vinegarette and topped with croutons, lardons of bacon, and hard boiled egg that has been heated in a saute pan.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh Baby Spinach
1/4 cup crouton
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled, halved, and chopped
2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch strips

In a medium bowl, whisk the honey, mustard and vinegar with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Then slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking vigorously. Set dressing aside.
In a large saute pan, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until it is cooked through. The bacon should remain pink when cooked and not become crispy browned. Remove from heat.

Toss spinach in dressing and gently pour into bowl. Dump hot mixture onto the dressed spinach and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 large eggs, hard-boiled
3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 small shallot, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds baby or flat-leaf spinach, washed

Steps:

Peel eggs, and chop them coarsely. Set aside. Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels. Reserve 1 teaspoon of bacon fat, and discard the rest.
Meanwhile, combine garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and sherry vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in olive oil, add parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together spinach, cooked bacon, reserved warm bacon fat, vinaigrette, and chopped eggs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve immediately.

Tips:

For a creamier salad dressing, use mayonnaise instead of sour cream.
Add chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, for extra flavor.
If you don't have bacon, you can use chopped ham or cooked sausage.
To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits.
For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and reduce the amount of mayonnaise.
