Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ pound slab bacon
1 tablespoon curry powder
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
9 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
12 cups flat leaf spinach - rinsed, dried and stems removed
12 fresh mushrooms, sliced

Steps:

  • Trim the rind from the bacon and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until brown and crispy. Cover and reduce heat to lowest setting to keep bacon warm.
  • In a small, dry skillet, toast curry powder over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard. Add oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly, until the oil is completely incorporated. Add curry powder and whisk until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the bacon, spinach, mushrooms and vinaigrette until evenly coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I often make it with a bag of spinach that's about to go bad.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this salad. The curry vinaigrette is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
