I don’t know how to post a link. So hope this is ok. Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

CUP MEASURES
By Jennifer Segal
This spinach salad combines crispy thick-cut bacon, mushrooms, and soft-boiled eggs with a warm bacon vinaigrette. Pair with a rotisserie chicken and dinner is done!

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 20 Minutes
INGREDIENTS

8 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
¼ cup finely chopped shallots, from 1 to 2 shallots
2½ tablespoons cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons honey
1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
Heaping ¼ teaspoon salt
Several grinds fresh black pepper
6 oz (about 8 cups) baby spinach
8 oz white button or baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
3 hard or soft boiled eggs, thinly sliced or cut into wedges
INSTRUCTIONS

Place the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet and fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
While the bacon cooks, start the dressing: in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel–lined plate.
Pour the bacon fat into a heatproof bowl, then return 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat to the skillet. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not brown.
Add the bacon fat and shallots from the skillet to the vinegar mixture and whisk to combine. Add the spinach and mushrooms and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Divide the salad between 4 plates or bowls; evenly divide the egg and cooked bacon among them. Serve immediately.

@mockinbrd You posted just fine! Thanks, this recipe looks wonderful as well!

@mockinbrd Thanks, your salad sounds delicious. I have been avoiding bacon unfortunately (bacon makes everything taste better) because my cholesterol is sort of high so I would only very rarely make it but I will keep the recipe.

@fiesty76 My yeast arrived this week also and I will make pizza tomorrow. I didn't even know there was special yeast for pizza, I have a standard yeast. The prices for yeast these days are very greatly inflated. I paid at least three times what it should have cost.
