Salad Base

Bacon Dressing

Method

Prepare Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Spinach

    Rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop Sweet Red Pepper

    Remove the seeds and stem from the sweet red pepper. Slice it into thin strips and add to the bowl with the spinach.

  3. 3

    Slice Red Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion, then add it to the salad bowl.

    Prepare Hard Boiled Eggs

    Peel the hard boiled eggs and chop them into quarters or slices. Set aside for later.

Make Bacon Dressing

  1. 5

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. 6

    Prepare Dressing

    In the reserved bacon fat, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and heated through.

  3. 7

    Add Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon into the dressing and stir to combine.

Assemble Salad

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the warm bacon dressing over the spinach salad base. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
