Ingredients:

Serving

3 qts . (7 to 8 oz.) lightly packed baby spinach
3 large eggs, hard-cooked and cut into wedges
5 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
5 oz good-quality thick-cut bacon
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 large head fennel (about 4 in. wide), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 1/2 tbsp minced shallot
1 1/2 tsp roughly chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 1/2 tbsp sherry vinegar
2 tsp dijon mustard
about 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
about 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Combine spinach, eggs, and mushrooms in a large shallow serving bowl.
Cut bacon on the diagonal into strips about 1/4 in. thick and 1 1/2 in. long. Cook bacon with 1/3 cup water in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until water disappears, 8 to 12 minutes. Add oils and cook until bacon is light golden but still supple, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Add fennel to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to more paper towels.
Stir shallot and thyme into fat in pan and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in vinegar to deglaze pan. Whisk in mustard, 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper, and 2 tsp. water.
Add bacon and fennel to salad, scrape dressing on top, and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
