About

I love warm spinach salads. Here, the grapes add a sweet note that brings balance to the whole dish.

Ingredients

¼ pound good quality bacon, cut into ¼-inch dice
3 tablespoons finely sliced shallots or green onions (green and white parts)

Gluten-free

Method

In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer it to paper towels to drain and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the shallots and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Apple Cider Dressing to the pan and bring it to a simmer.
