Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
A warm bacon dressing is the secret to this classic spinach salad. If you’re looking for new ways to eat your veggies, think about a classic spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. Scissortail spinach is always a good choice, healthy and packed with nutrition. But when you want to break out of your basic spinach salad, try it with bacon. After you’ve cooked your Bar-S bacon, combine it with balsamic vinegar, Cheatwood’s Honey, shallots and Scissortail thyme. The salad becomes a meal of its own when topped with hard-boiled eggs and Miller Pecan Co. pecans. J-M mushrooms or sliced red onion would both be great additions to this spinach salad.
