Recipe by Sunkissed Kitchen.
Fresh Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
This Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing combines fresh baby spinach, hard-boiled eggs, roasted red peppers, avocado, and pecans tossed in a savory, sweetened bacon vinaigrette. The warm dressing gently wilts the spinach, making it a flavorful and satisfying salad perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- For the Salad:
- 12 cups baby spinach
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, cut in half
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 6 tablespoons pecans, chopped
- For the Dressing:
- 1 (12 oz.) package Jones Dairy Farm No Sugar Hickory Smoked Extra Thick Bacon
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (can substitute honey or maple syrup)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Assemble the salads on individual plates by layering spinach, a hard-boiled egg, a few slices of roasted red pepper and avocado, and a tablespoon of chopped pecans.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until browned and slightly crisp. Remove from pan, leaving the bacon grease, and chop the bacon and set aside.
Add the shallots into the pan with the bacon grease, and sauté over medium heat until they just begin to brown.
Add the avocado oil, red wine vinegar, chopped bacon, sweetener, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer and then remove from heat.
Top the salads while the dressing is still hot to wilt the spinach.
