Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz baby spinach leaves
  • 4 hard-cooked eggs sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 4 strips bacon crisply cooked and crumbled
  • 10 oz Swiss cheese shredded
  • ½ cup sliced almonds toasted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup white wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 strips bacon crisply cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salad Base:

  • Place baby spinach in a large bowl.
  • Top with sliced hard-cooked eggs, mushrooms, crumbled bacon, shredded Swiss cheese, and toasted almonds.

Make the Warm Bacon Dressing:

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced shallots and garlic for about 2 minutes until soft.
  • Add white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey, stirring until well combined.
  • Crumble in bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the dressing until hot, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Pour the hot dressing over the salad, gently tossing to evenly coat the ingredients. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a heartier salad, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp. Substitute Swiss cheese with feta or blue cheese for a different flavor.
