Tangy Spinach Salad Bacon Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning once, until very crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Spoon up 1 tablespoon of the remaining drippings and add them to a small measuring cup along with the olive oil.
• Whisk together the vinegar, capers, mustard, egg and oil mixture in a large salad bowl. Stir in the chives and parsley. Add the spinach to the bowl and toss to coat. Finely chop the reserved bacon and sprinkle over the top of the salad. Season to taste.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk onion, sugar, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, yellow mustard, salt, celery seed, and black pepper together in a bowl until well combined. Chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours to blend flavors.
• Mix spinach, stuffing mix, eggs, and bacon together in a large bowl. Add dressing and stir to coat.
