Instructions

Spinach Salad

  1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook 4 pieces of bacon. When cooked, remove the bacon to a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Break bacon into small pieces. Pour the bacon fat into a medium bowl.
  2. Boil the eggs to make hard boiled eggs. See notes below for how I make mine.
  3. In a large bowl, add fresh baby spinach, sliced onions, sliced mushrooms, bacon pieces, and sliced hard boiled eggs.

Warm Bacon Dressing

  1. In the medium bowl with the bacon drippings, add 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Pour immediately over salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe
  • I recommend using Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe to make the hard boiled eggs. Otherwise, you can cook eggs in boiling water until they become hard boiled. 
  • Use Fresh baby spinach. Frozen spinach will not work in this recipe.
  • It is important to cook the bacon immediately before assembling the salad and the dressing because you need the bacon drippings to still be warm.
  • If you like, add sliced avocado, or crumbled feta or bleu cheese.
