Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
After having a salad like this at a restaurant years ago, I came up with this recipe. It is especially good when the spinach comes right from the garden to the table.
Ingredients
-
2 cups fresh baby spinach, torn
-
2 hard-boiled large eggs, sliced
-
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
-
3 medium fresh mushrooms, sliced
-
1/4 cup salad croutons
-
6 pitted ripe olives, halved
-
3 slices red onion, halved
-
DRESSING:
-
4 bacon strips, diced
-
1 tablespoon chopped onion
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 tablespoons ketchup
-
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
-
1.
Divide spinach between 2 plates. Arrange the eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, croutons, olives and red onion over the top.
-
2.
In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute onion in drippings until tender.
-
3.
Stir in the sugar, ketchup, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle bacon over salads; drizzle with dressing.
