TANGY SPINACH SALAD & BACON DRESSING



Tangy Spinach Salad & Bacon Dressing image

Mom loved this salad, and it was always a treat when she would prepare it. Not having her recipe, I used Alton Brown's as the basis and improvised slightly. This was a hit with everyone. The secret is to add enough sugar to reach the desired sweetness level. Just keep tasting and stirring the dressing -- just don't eat all of it or you won't have anything to put on the salad! From the kitchen of Tona Thornburg Court, Moberly MO.

Time 50m

Yield 8 salads, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces Baby Spinach
6 eggs, hard boiled and sliced
16 pieces cooked bacon, chopped
9 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 -6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
12 medium white mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces red onions, very thinly sliced (1 small)
1 cup dried cranberries
garlic cheese crouton

Steps:

  • Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • While the eggs are hard boiling, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 9 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside. I like to fry bacon in the oven. Just spread out the slices on a cookie sheet and pop into a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You can turn the bacon during the last 5 minutes to get it crispier.
  • Transfer the bacon grease to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a few small pinches each of kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Add the mushrooms, cranberries and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 8 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.
