Hearty Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Place spinach in a large salad bowl; set aside. In a small nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain.
In the drippings, saute onion until tender. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, celery seed and pepper. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the heat; pour over spinach and toss to coat. Sprinkle with bacon. Serve immediately.

This was such a good salad! Very quick and easy to prepare and will definitely be saving this recipe. I’m thinking of adding walnuts and/or dried cranberries to add some variety so that I can serve it often!

This was excellent! I added 3/4 c. Half red onion/half shallot and used dijon mustard instead of the ground mustard because its what I had.
