  • If you don't have any bacon on hand, you can use crumbled cooked chicken or tofu instead.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to the salad, you can add some dried cranberries or raisins.
  • If you want to make the salad ahead of time, you can prepare the dressing and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve the salad, just toss the dressing with the spinach and other ingredients.
