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.
