SPINACH AND STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Put the spinach, strawberries and shallots in a large bowl.
• Toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside to cool.
• Put the bacon in a cold medium skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; leave the bacon fat in the pan.
• Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the mustard and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the vinegar and then whisk in the olive oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the bacon and almonds to the salad, pour over the bacon vinaigrette, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

MY FAVORITE STRAWBERRY BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette first by whisking all of the vinaigrette ingredients together. Taste, then add salt and pepper as needed. You can make the dressing ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use. It's great for up to 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
• If your bacon is not already cooked, cook it according to its package directions. Cool until ready to handle, then chop it up.
• In a large bowl, toss all of the salad ingredients together, then mix in the vinaigrette. You may not need all the vinaigrette- use as much or little as you prefer.
• Plate and serve. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
