SPINACH SALAD FLAMBE
This is a twist on the usual spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. It comes from a June 1978 issue of Bon Apetit in the R.S.V.P. section and was served at the Prince of Wales Grill at the Hotel del Coronado, Coronado, California.I like to add some thinly sliced red onion to this.
