Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves (washed and dried)
5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium red onion (cut into 1/4-inch thick wedges with some core attached)
2 hard-boiled eggs (diced)
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher or other coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional bacon - per serving
1 slice bacon (cooked, drained, cooled, and chopped)

Steps:

  • Add spinach to a large bowl.
  • Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat-high. Add onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and some bits are brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Pour onions over spinach. Top with egg.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to skillet and stir in the feta cheese. Stir in unheated skillet until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the cheese mixture over the salad. Toss thoroughly to coat and wilt the spinach slightly.
  • Divide between four plates. Top individual servings with chopped bacon if desired.
