Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs, hard-boiled
3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 small shallot, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds baby or flat-leaf spinach, washed

Steps:

  • Peel eggs, and chop them coarsely. Set aside. Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels. Reserve 1 teaspoon of bacon fat, and discard the rest.
  • Meanwhile, combine garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and sherry vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in olive oil, add parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, toss together spinach, cooked bacon, reserved warm bacon fat, vinaigrette, and chopped eggs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve immediately.

I'm not sure about the bacon in this salad. I think it might be better without it.

The dressing is light and tangy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor.
