Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby spinach thoroughly, then set aside in a large salad bowl.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
Slice the hard-boiled eggs into wedges and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant.
To prepare the dressing, finely mince the garlic clove and whisk together with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or jar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the salad by layering the spinach, red onion, cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, egg wedges, and toasted almonds in the salad bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and hearty 108 Mile Spinach Bacon Salad!
