A classic steakhouse-style spinach salad with the absolute best warm bacon-mustard dressing I've ever had! Looks and tastes like a lot of work, but can be prepared in no time! This salad can easily be converted to a main dish salad by adding strips of grilled chicken breast. Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves |
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and sliced |
1 cup sliced mushrooms |
4 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled |
10 ounces swiss cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 large shallot, minced |
1 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1/3 cup white wine vinegar |
1/3 cup dijon mustard |
1/3 cup honey |
2 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Place spinach into a large serving bowl, top with hard-cooked eggs, mushrooms, 4 crumbled strips of bacon, Swiss cheese, and almonds.
2. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and garlic, and cook until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and 2 crumbled strips of bacon; season to taste with salt and pepper, then cook until hot.
3. Pour hot dressing over spinach and toss to coat.
