Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until crisp, 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined-plate with a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in the skillet. Let cool slightly, then chop.
- Meanwhile, soak the shallots in the vinegar in a small bowl. Puree the avocado, buttermilk, tarragon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender; set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; chop.
- Combine the spinach, grapes and the shallots in vinegar in a large bowl. Add the avocado dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving of salad with chicken, bacon and pepitas.

SPINACH CHICKEN SALAD
This recipe is from a cute little tea room called MadHatter's in San Antonio, TX. It's not a spinach salad, it's a chicken salad with spinach in it. Delicious on sourdough with alfalfa sprouts and tomatoes! I've even wrapped these in pastry dough and baked them for a delicious picnic snack hot or cold.

Steps:
- 1. Blanch spinach: Bring water to a boil and add spinach. Boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until spinach is bright green. Drain water from spinach and submerge spinach into a bowl of ice cold water for a few minutes. Strain spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. It helps to press spinach against a sieve or use paper towels to squeeze out the water. The result is a ball of spinach that can fit into the palm of your hand. Chop spinach.
- 2. Pour cubed chicken into a food processor and pulse 5 to 6 times to chop.
- 3. Combine spinach and Knorr soup mix in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with clean hands. Be sure there is no visible soup mix powder. Any soup mix powder should be completely absorbed by the spinach.
- 4. Add the chopped chicken and mayonnaise to the spinach mixture and mix thoroughly.
- 5. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. The chicken salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
