Recipe View 5 mins Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately to prevent the spinach from wilting.

For a richer flavor, try using apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar in the dressing.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
Toasted slivered almonds or pecans make a great addition to this salad for added crunch and flavor.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to shake well before using.
Consider adding other vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for extra nutrients and flavor.

    The bacon and egg combination is genius! My kids even love this salad.

  • Fermin White

    I found the dressing a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar slightly and it was perfect.
