1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.
2
Prepare the Vinaigrette
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, reduce the heat to low. Add 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and whisk together with the drippings. Gradually add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, add the fresh spinach, sliced red onion, dried cranberries, chopped bacon, walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese.
4
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the warm bacon-Dijon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
