Warm Spinach Salad

spinach

This warm spinach salad is perfect for any season. I like to eat this for dinner when I feel like a light supper, but still want to have something satisfying. It has crisp bacon, sweet onions, hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes. I like to use maple flavored bacon for extra sweetness and flavor. The bacon pairs well with the tangy dressing. The warm dressing is flavored with dijon mustard and reserved drippings from the bacon. Served with fresh bread, this is a satisfying lunch or dinner. To make spinach salad really great, you have to wilt it in the dressing just a little so that the flavors meld together.
