Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, crisp bacon, and tangy dressing will make all the difference.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Add some crunch: The bacon and almonds add a nice crunch to the salad. If you don't have bacon or almonds, you can substitute other crunchy ingredients, such as croutons or sunflower seeds.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing can wilt the spinach if it sits for too long.
