Spinach, Bacon & Egg Salad with Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing
Description
The salad mixes fresh leafy spinach with crunchy bacon and mushrooms, mild halved Roma tomatoes, shredded medium cheddar cheese, and protein-rich chopped hard-boiled eggs. Each bite delivers a combination of fresh, smoky, earthy, and creamy tastes with a variety of textures.
The dressing brings creaminess from Greek yogurt, balanced sweetness from honey, tang from Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar, all rounded with olive oil and seasonings. Whisked until smooth, it adds moisture and flavor contrast to the salad components.
This salad is assembled by tossing all salad ingredients and serving the dressing on the side or lightly drizzled. The dressing keeps for up to one week refrigerated in a sealed container, allowing leftovers to be saved and repurposed. It makes a well-rounded meal or substantial side salad.
