Di & I got to enjoy it again at the New Year's party our friend's hosted. This salad is super easy and super delicious!!!
Ingredients
Salad
- Bag of Spinach (It doesn't matter if it's baby spinach or regular)
- 6-8 oz Thick Sliced Bacon
- 8 oz Mushrooms
- 3 Large Eggs - hard boiled & sliced
- ≈ 3 Tbsp Spicy Mustard
- ≈ 2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 Onion (preferably a sweet onion) - chopped into chunks
- 1 - 2 tsp Honey
- Salt & Pepper (Salt is optional)
Sauté the mushrooms with a little bit of the bacon fat until they are deliciously tender. (About 5 minutes) Set this aside.
Once the bacon's not scalding hot, cut it into about 1" strips (or smaller, if you prefer).
In a blender, add the choped onion and blend it until it's a thick, tear-jerking paste. Add 2 - 3 pieces of bacon, 2 tbs of the bacon fat, the vinegar, mustard, & honey. Blend until it's all combined. At this point you can add salt & pepper if you're using it. (Fresh-cracked pepper - it's really the only way to have pepper!!!)
Combine the spinach, bacon, mushrooms, eggs and dressing in a large bowl and mix with tongs until everything looks pretty evenly distributed. Take a quick picture and inhale your salad.
This is easily addicting!
