Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing...



1/2 Bag fresh Baby Spinach washed and dried

2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and grated

1 small onion sliced

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup of crispy bacon bits

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

1 clove minced garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard

2 tablespoons sugar

Extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper



Begin by caramelizing the onions as this takes the longest. Add a 2-count of olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and caramelize with the first measure of sugar and salt - this takes about 20 minutes. The onions should be a nice brown color and tender and creamy when done. Set aside.



Cook the bacon bits until crispy and fat has rendered. When done, use a slotted spoon to remove bacon and drain on a paper towel. In the same pan with the bacon fat, add the red-wine vinegar (make sure you take the pan off the heat to do this), the garlic, mustard, sugar and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil - there should be approximately 1/3 cup of dressing. Bring to a gentle simmer whilst stirring to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan and help dissolve th sugar. Season with salt and pepper then shut off heat.



In a large mixing bowl add the spinach, caramelised onions, crispy bacon bits and grated egg. Pour over the warm bacon dressing and toss well to combine everything. Serve immediately."
