Who am I? I am reading my Food Network Magazine for March 2014; it is devoted to bacon. What is the first recipe I want to try??? Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing!
5 slices of bacon, roughly chopped
1/4 C. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. sugar or honey
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 pound of spinach (not baby spinach), tough stems removed
2 c. seedless red grapes, halved
4oz. blue cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 C.) I wonder how goat cheese would taste here??
Croutons for topping
Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove to paper towels; reserve the drippings in the skillet.
Whisk the vinegar, sugar, mustard and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper into the drippings. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Place the spinach in a large bowl and pour the warm dressing on top; ad the brapes, blue cheese and the reserved bacon and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Top with croutons.
