Not only is this a delicious salad to eat, but it is also a delicious salad to look at. I love the beauty of the deep green spinach and the perfectly shaped mushrooms with a splash of purple from the red onion. Let's just be honest here and skip straight to the best part, a dressing made from bacon. What a wonderful combination.6 pieces of bacon (cooked crisp and chopped)
3 slices of red onion
1 pint of baby portabella mushrooms (sliced) (these have a lot more flavor than white button mushrooms)
6 oz. fresh spinach leaves (washed/ dried)
For Dressing:
3 T. of red wine vinegar
3 T. of reserved bacon grease
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. honey
1 T. country style Dijon mustard
sea salt/ fresh cracked pepper to taste
-Toss all salad ingredients in a large salad bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan on low heat, stir together all dressing ingredients with a whisk. Once heated through, drizzle over salad. Serve immediately. Serves 4. Enjoy!
