This salad is always a hit. I serve it over assorted salad greens or sometimes fresh spinach, adding different kinds of berries, radishes or tomatoes for color. This thick and flavorful dressing is slightly sweet with a light tang.-Barbara Birk, St. George, Utah

TANGY SPINACH SALAD & BACON DRESSING
Mom loved this salad, and it was always a treat when she would prepare it. Not having her recipe, I used Alton Brown's as the basis and improvised slightly. This was a hit with everyone. The secret is to add enough sugar to reach the desired sweetness level. Just keep tasting and stirring the dressing -- just don't eat all of it or you won't have anything to put on the salad!

Steps:
- Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- While the eggs are hard boiling, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 9 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside. I like to fry bacon in the oven. Just spread out the slices on a cookie sheet and pop into a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You can turn the bacon during the last 5 minutes to get it crispier.
- Transfer the bacon grease to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a few small pinches each of kosher salt and black pepper.
- Add the mushrooms, cranberries and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 8 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dressing. Use fresh, flavorful bacon, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Don't overcook the bacon: Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy. Cook it until it is crispy but still slightly tender.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice for this dressing. It has a rich, fruity flavor that will complement the other ingredients.
- Use a good quality vinegar: Balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both good choices for this dressing. Choose a vinegar that has a well-balanced flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to customize this dressing to your liking. Try adding different herbs, spices, or sweeteners.
