Spinach-Bacon Salad with Warm Dressing


Title: Spinach-Bacon Salad with Warm Dressing
Categories: Salads, Vegetables
Yield: 4 Servings

1 pk 10 oz. fresh spinach
1/4 lb Mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 Small red onion, peeled and
8 Slices bacon, cut into 1-inc
2 ts Dijon or prepared spicy brow
2 ts Sugar
2 ts Red wine vinegar
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
3 tb Lemon juice

Trim the spinach of coarse stems and blemished leaves, and wash. Pat the
spinach dry with paper toweling, tear into bite-size pieces, and put into a
large serving bowl along with the mushrooms and onion.
Set aside. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a 12 inch skillet over moderately
high heat until crisp -- about 5 minutes. Drain on paper toweling and
reserve. Pour off all but 5 tablespoons of the drippings. Reduce the heat
to low. Add the mustard, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon
juice to the drippings. Stir to mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad,
crumble the bacon over it, and toss thoroughly. Serve immediately.
