Ingredients
- 3 bunches spinach, about 2 pounds, tough stems removed, cleaned 1 small red onion, cut into slivers 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound slab or very thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/4-by-1/2-inch pieces 1 large shallot, minced 1/2 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons honey mustard 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 one-pound loaf white bread, crusts removed, cut into 1-inch squares
Directions
Toss spinach and onion in a large bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned.
Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Remove and reserve 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet, and place the remainder back over medium heat. Add the shallot, and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sugar, honey mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and dressing is hot, about 1 minute.
Pour dressing over spinach, add reserved bacon, and toss well. Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat in the same skillet. Add half the bread cubes, and toss to coat them evenly. Cook until bread cubes are golden, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a paper towel, and repeat with remaining bread cubes, adding remaining 2 tablespoons bacon fat to pan. Add to salad, and toss well. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes Three bunches may seem like a lot of spinach, but the hot-bacon dressing wilts it substantially.
