This salad is always a hit. I serve it over assorted salad greens or sometimes fresh spinach, adding different kinds of berries, radishes or tomatoes for color. This thick and flavorful dressing is slightly sweet with a light tang.-Barbara Birk, St. George, Utah

TANGY SPINACH SALAD & BACON DRESSING

Tangy Spinach Salad & Bacon Dressing image

Mom loved this salad, and it was always a treat when she would prepare it. Not having her recipe, I used Alton Brown's as the basis and improvised slightly. This was a hit with everyone. The secret is to add enough sugar to reach the desired sweetness level. Just keep tasting and stirring the dressing -- just don't eat all of it or you won't have anything to put on the salad!

Time 50m

Yield 8 salads, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

16 ounces Baby Spinach
6 eggs, hard boiled and sliced
16 pieces cooked bacon, chopped
9 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 -6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
12 medium white mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces red onions, very thinly sliced (1 small)
1 cup dried cranberries
garlic cheese crouton

Steps:

Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
While the eggs are hard boiling, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 9 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside. I like to fry bacon in the oven. Just spread out the slices on a cookie sheet and pop into a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You can turn the bacon during the last 5 minutes to get it crispier.
Transfer the bacon grease to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a few small pinches each of kosher salt and black pepper.
Add the mushrooms, cranberries and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 8 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

1 avocado
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (2 medium)

Tips:

Use high-quality bacon: The bacon is the star of the show in this dressing, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the flavor of.
Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon will add more flavor and texture to the dressing.
Don't over-process the dressing: The dressing should be slightly chunky, with small pieces of bacon and onion. If you over-process it, it will become smooth and lose its texture.
Taste the dressing before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more vinegar, salt, or pepper.
Serve the dressing immediately: The dressing is best when served fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the flavor will be best on the first day.
