Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh baby spinach leaves
- 4 slices Bacon slices
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach leaves, placing them in a large salad bowl.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the hard-boiled eggs into rounds or quarters. Thinly slice the red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Assemble the salad by layering the spinach leaves with crumbled bacon, sliced eggs, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese.
Drizzle the homemade vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful Famous Walper Spinach Salad.
