WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM BACON DRESSING

Submitted by: MISSEB1986
WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM BACON DRESSING

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    6 ounces fresh baby spinach
    3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    Pinch salt
    6 slices thick bacon, cut in 1/2" pieces
    1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin, 2 ounces
    1 clove garlic, minced
    4 hard boiled eggs, quartered

Directions

Place the spinach in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, Splenda, pepper and salt; set aside. Fry the bacon until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Measure out 3 tablespoons bacon grease and discard the rest.

Heat the bacon grease and sauté the onion 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 15 seconds. Add the vinegar mixture to the skillet and remove from the heat. Working quickly, scrape the brown bits off the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Pour the hot dressing over the spinach; add the bacon. Toss gently until spinach is slightly wilted. Divide among 4-6 salad plates and arrange eggs on the salads. Serve at once.

    I loved this salad and so has every person to whom I've served it! The flavors are a wonderful balance of sweet, sour and salty.

    Then there's the bacon factor...

    It made my Canadian friends smile!

    I have made it more than once and doubtless will again! - 10/21/10

    Spectacular! I used pomegranate red wine vinegar, but I doubt it made much of a difference. This is just a fantastically flavorful dish! - 4/15/09

    Dee-lish! My only problem was I had turkey bacon and it didn't yield the fat needed to make the dressing, so I had to put a TB of olive oil...no biggie! - 4/4/09

    We ate it all... but I was so skeptical of eating actual bacon fat and didn't seem to be worth the fat content. I would prefer using a fat free vinagret as the dressing to cut down on the calories. I don't think I will make it again, sorry. - 4/2/13

    Made as is except sub'd a tiny dash of agave syrup for Splenda since my husband is "allergic" to artificial sweeteners. Agreed with the other reviewers--excellent! - 1/20/13

    Yum! My husband just loved this recipe. Prep was quick as I already had eggs hardboiled and bacon cooked. I will make this again. Thanks! - 11/7/12

    This was excellent. My husband loves this salad, but when I saw the Splenda, I thought it might not be too good. He said it was one of the best salads he has ever tasted. I loved it, too. - 6/19/12

    Very good but don't be fooled by the smell of the viniger when you add it to the hot mixture. My entire family complained of the smell during the last step but had no complaints once is hit their mouths. - 1/17/09
