Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Dressing
8 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salad
4 oranges, peeled, white pith removed
10 ounces spinach, stems trimmed
1 medium head radicchio
6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced
6 ounces fresh oyster mushrooms
1/2 cup (generous) toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
1 3 1/2-ounce packageenoki mushrooms (optional)

Steps:

  • For Dressing:
  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Pour off drippings and reserve. Combine 1/4 cup reserved drippings with remaining ingredients in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For Salad:
  • Working over small bowl and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes of oranges to release segments; add to bowl. Tear spinach and radicchio into bite-size pieces and place in large bowl. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover dressing, orange segments, greens and reserved bacon drippings separately and refrigerate.)
  • Drain orange segments. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon drippings in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shiitake mushrooms and sauté 1 minute. Add oyster mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms to greens and toss. Pour dressing into same skillet and boil 2 minutes. Pour dressing over greens. Add bacon, orange segments and chopped hazelnuts. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish salad with enoki mushrooms and serve.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved this salad. The oranges and mushrooms really balance out the flavor of the spinach.

The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this salad was great. I would definitely make it again, but I would use a different dressing.
