Fresh spinach salad recipes are wonderful at any time and so nutritious.

You will find this particular bacon spinach salad recipe easy to prepare and just delicious.

You wouldn’t think that a warm dressing would be appropriate for a salad, but spinach is a stronger tasting green and the warm dressing with the addition of bacon is a perfect match.

Ingredients

  • 2 - 10 ounce packages fresh spinach or 2 bunches baby spinach, cleaned and dried
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 pound bacon

Method

Step 1

Broil or fry bacon and drain well, rolling in paper towel. Crumble bacon into small pieces.

Variations:

  • Add 2 ounces of toasted slivered almonds for crunch and added taste.
