Hot Bacon Dressing Spinach Salad

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor

Wash and dry the baby spinach and place it in a large salad bowl.

In a skillet, heat the bacon drippings over medium heat.

Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.

In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Gradually add the bacon drippings to the vinegar mixture while whisking to emulsify the dressing.

Pour the warm dressing over the spinach and toss gently to coat the leaves.

Add the crumbled bacon and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad.

Toss the salad again to combine all ingredients evenly.

Serve immediately while the dressing is warm.
