Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the spinach

    Rinse the baby spinach under cold water, then dry it using a salad spinner or by gently patting it with a paper towel. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the hard-boiled eggs

    Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Slice the mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl with spinach.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the dressing

    Using the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the finely chopped shallots and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

  2. 6

    Combine ingredients

    Add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the shallots. Stir to combine and let it cook for another minute until slightly thickened.

  3. 7

    Dress the salad

    Pour the warm dressing over the spinach, mushrooms, and crumbled bacon in the salad bowl. Gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients with the dressing.

  4. 8

    Serve the salad

    Top the salad with the quartered hard-boiled eggs and serve immediately while the dressing is still warm.
