6 bacon slices, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
12 ounces crimini (baby bella) mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 10-ounce bag spinach leaves

2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces chilled soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)



Recipe



Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add bell pepper to drippings in skillet; sauté 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bell pepper to large bowl. Add mushrooms to same skillet and sauté until tender and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms to bowl with bell pepper and reserve skillet. Add spinach and onion to same bowl.
Add oil, vinegar, and sugar to reserved skillet; bring to boil, whisking until sugar dissolves. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Toss salad with enough warm dressing from skillet to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
