Bacon Fat Dressing; Because spinach salad is too healthy.
Spinach can be done up in many different ways. However, perhaps the most fresh and delicious way to prepare spinach is to eat it raw with a mouth watering warm bacon dressing drizzled on top!
Ingredients:
8 ounces young spinach (super fresh and grown right in your very own Solaris Garden)
8 pieces thick-sliced bacon, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Prepare:
1. Fry the bacon and place on a paper towel when done to drain. Make sure to reserve 3 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.
2. Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar. sugar, and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch of each kosher salt and black pepper. Your dressing is done!
3. Add your warm bacon crumbles and dressing to your spinach salad and enjoy!
