Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet and sautee the bacon until the pieces are golden brown. Remove from the heat.
- Mix spinach, mushrooms and onion in a glass or ceramic bowl. (Do not use wood - it will soak up the warm dressing.)
- Toss salad ingredients with the vinegar.
- Reheat the bacon and drippings in the skillet and pour over salad. Toss thoroughly then cover the salad with the overturned skillet for about 30 seconds. Toss again.
- Season with pepper, crumble sieved hard-cooked egg yolk on the salad and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender spinach. Wilted or yellowed spinach will not taste as good and will not hold up well in the salad.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly. Be sure to remove any dirt or grit from the leaves.
- Use a variety of tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes all work well in this salad.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly. This will help them to cook evenly in the dressing.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it is important to use a good one.
- Add a splash of lemon juice. The lemon juice will help to brighten up the flavors of the salad.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper. Be sure to taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Serve the salad warm. This salad is best served warm, so it is important to cook the spinach and tomatoes just before serving.
Conclusion:
This warm spinach salad with tomatoes is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The spinach and tomatoes are cooked in a flavorful dressing, and the salad is then topped with Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
