Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Spinach and Tomatoes

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the spinach.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Once the bacon is crumbled, sprinkle the gorgonzola cheese over the spinach and cherry tomatoes in the salad bowl.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until well combined and emulsified.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the poppy seed vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately, garnishing with any remaining crumbled bacon.
