4 steps
Prep:20minCook:5min
My spinach salad with warm bacon vinaigrette has it all. The warmed homemade sweet bacon vinaigrette coats every piece of fresh spinach. Then it is topped with more bacon, feta, walnuts, and shallots. It is the perfect balance of healthy and tasty.

Instructions
Step 1
Cook your bacon by your preferred method. You can bake the bacon on a foiled lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Drain your bacon on a paper towel and reserve the bacon fat.
Step 2
Prepare your veggies and nuts. Thinly slice the shallots and cut tomatoes. Chop bacon into bits. Toast the walnuts if they are raw.
Step 3
Prepare the vinaigrette, add warmed bacon fat (you can warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds if your fat has solidified), lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper to a bowl or a mason jar with a lid. Mix well. Add in the olive oil and mix well or shake the jar.
Step 4
Assemble your salad. Toss the fresh spinach with the dressing (add a little bit at a time, you can always add more) Add the bacon bits, shallots, tomato, toasted walnuts, and feta cheese to the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
