Warm crispy bacon is the star of this simple spinach salad. We upped the ante with tender mushrooms, fresh red onion and hard-boiled eggs for a hearty salad your whole family can enjoy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 5-ounce package baby spinach
4 large eggs
8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
One 3.5-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a large bowl and leave at room temperature. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water. Boil until both the whites and yolks are set (hard-boiled), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl filled with ice water and cool completely. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut each into quarters.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove half of the bacon fat to a small bowl and reserve.
  • Return the skillet and remaining bacon fat to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the reserved bacon fat, vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk until smooth and emulsified. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Pour the hot bacon dressing over the spinach and toss until evenly coated and slightly wilted. Transfer to a platter and top with the eggs, red onion and reserved bacon.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 10m

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons canola oil
1 small red onion, peeled and grated on a cheese grater
1 clove garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 pound spinach leaves, stemmed, washed and dried
3 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the onion and garlic clove and cook, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt. Discard the garlic clove. Whisk in the cider vinegar and add 1 teaspoon canola oil. Taste for seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place a large heatproof bowl over low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil. When the bowl is warm remove it from the heat and add the spinach. Season lightly with salt and toss with a spoon so the spinach gets coated with the oil and wilts slightly, 1 minute. The spinach should only be partially wilted and still appear somewhat raw. Pour off any water that might accumulate in the bottom of the bowl from wilting and stir in the onion and dressing from the skillet. Add chopped hard-boiled egg. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If you only have access to frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • To save time, use canned chickpeas. If you prefer to cook your own chickpeas, soak them overnight in water and then simmer them for about 1 hour, or until they are tender.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped cucumber, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
  • For a more substantial salad, add some cooked protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • To make a dressing with more tang, use lemon juice instead of red wine vinegar.
  • If you are serving this salad as a main course, pair it with a side of bread or quinoa.

Conclusion:

This wilted spinach salad with chickpeas is a healthy and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and the chickpeas add a nice protein boost. This salad is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking.
