Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon cut into small pieces
- 4 cups baby spinach washed and dried
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced

- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, or to taste

- Add the red onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

This salad is the bomb! I love the warm dressing, it made the spinach so tasty.
Wow!! I never thought spinach could taste this good! My kids even ate it. Will make again!
Nothing but bacon and bubblegum in this?? Not a fan of spinach anyway.
Who puts bacon and bubblegum together? That sounds so weird! And spinach isn’t even that bad if cooked right.
I think you might be missing out! Bacon and spinach together are super tasty. Give it a try, maybe? 🤷♂️
What’s the point of using fancy vinegar? I’ll just use regular ol’ white vinegar next time lol.
Simple ingredients, great taste. A bit salty though for my liking.
I tried this recipe but it just didn’t work for me. Bacon went all soggy and the dressing was too strong.
Spinach? really? thought this was a pasta dish… guess I’ll just stick to pizza.
Yummm, the crispy bacon really makes this salad worth it! Highly recommend it.
I am not that good in the kitchen, but this was easy to follow. Thanks for the recipe!
