Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-washed spinach and pre-cooked bacon.
  • For a sweeter dressing, use more maple syrup. For a tangier dressing, use more vinegar.
  • If you don't have pecans on hand, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • For a more substantial salad, add grilled chicken or salmon.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, as the spinach will wilt if it sits for too long.
