Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup pecan halves
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 small shallot, minced
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
pinch sugar
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-oz) package prewashed baby spinach
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, fried crisp
4 oz crumbled blue cheese
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Directions:

Pecans: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in all the spices and the pecans. Stir and toast the pecans for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a plate to cool.
Salad: Whisk together the Dijon mustard, shallots, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil in a continuous stream, whisking to emulsify. Season with a pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the spinach to a large serving bowl. Toss the greens with the prepared dressing, the bacon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes and spiced pecans.
