Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Stir and heat until bubbling, then remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Add Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon over the top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the hot bacon dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the dressing is warm. Optionally, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or yellowfin tuna for an additional charge.
