Ingredients

Servings

Spinach Salad

  • 4 trips Bacon
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 1 small onion red or white onion, sliced
  • 4 ounces mushroom sliced
  • 4 egg hard-boiled

Warm Bacon Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons brown mustard spicy
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (honey could be substituted)
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

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.
