Spinach, Egg, and Bacon Salad with Warm Dressing

 Not really sure why, but I really had a taste for this salad and did some googling to come up with this version.  It serves about 2 people.

Spinach, Egg, and Bacon Salad with Warm Dressing

4 strips bacon

1/4 c. chopped red onion or shallot

1 T. apple cider vinegar

2 t. honey

2 t. Dijon mustard

salt/pepper

4-6 c. spinach 

2 hard boiled eggs, chopped

Whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper.  Set aside.

Chop the bacon and fry it in a non-stick pan or cast iron.  Add the red onion or shallot toward the end to soften it.

Scoop out the bacon and shallots from the pan and take 1 or 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and whisk it in with the dressing.

Discard the remaining grease or save it for something else.

Return the pan to the stove add the spinach, put the bacon and onion or shallot back in the pan and wilt down the spinach just a bit.

Put the spinach mix in a bowl add the chopped egg and toss with the dressing.
