I had a great spinach salad at a resturant long ago, haven't been able to find it since, so I played around till I came up with this and I like it even better.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon uncooked, diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 9 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 2 large red apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup red onion, chopped

How To Make warm/wilted spinach and apple salad

  • Step 1
    I cut the apples in half and use a mellon baller to remove the core, leave the skin on for color. Then slice very thin.
  • Step 2
    In an 8 to 10 inch skillet, cook diced bacon till crisp, drain on paper towels. Drain skillet reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. To skillet return dripping, Add Vinegar and Brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook till sugar disolves. Cool slightly. Since I am a dressing hog I usually double this part.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl combine Spinach, Apples, Onion and Bacon pcs. Drizzle with warm dressing. SERVE IMMEDIATELY.
