List of Ingredients
Wilted Spinach Salad With Bacon And Balsamic Vinaigrette
6 cups fresh spinach leaves; washed, dried, chilled
2 slices bacon; cut in 1/4 inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red onion; minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Recipe
Remove stems and veins from spinach and tear into bite-sized pieces;
place spinach in a large bowl. In a small frying pan over medium heat, fry
bacon approximately 5 minutes or until crisp; transfer with slotted spoon
to paper towel-lined plate, leaving fat in pan. Return frying pan to
medium heat; add oil, onion, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook 2 to 3 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened. Add balsamic
vinegar; swirl to incorporate. Pour warm dressing over spinach and
toss gently to wilt (when properly wilted, the leaf edges soften
slightly, but
the spinach retains some crunch). Sprinkle bacon over spinach and
serve immediately.
