Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package baby spinach long stems removed if desired
- ¼ small red onion very thinly sliced
- 2 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 3 ounces pancetta or bacon cut into thick chunks *see note
- 1 small shallot minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste plus more freshly cracked black pepper for serving
- extra virgin olive oil as needed **see note
Notes
- **Depending on the pancetta or bacon you use, you may have more or less fat than what's needed for the vinaigrette. Taste the dressing and adjust it to your liking - add more mustard and/or vinegar if you'd like it a bit sharper or drizzle in a little olive oil if you need to mellow it out.
- This salad is meant to be served warm and unfortunately isn't as good at room temperature or cold because it's made with rendered pancetta or bacon fat, which hardens at room temperature and is very unappealing.
- To keep the salad warm, place your plates in a low oven for a few minutes before serving and make sure you serve the salad immediately after making.
- Don't skimp on the freshly cracked black pepper. It's especially good here!
- Try it with a poached, crispy fried or soft-boiled eggs on top!
