For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can be used as substitutes. Adjust the amount to taste. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to whisk it again before using.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Eggs: Gently place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove from heat. Cover the pan and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12-15 minutes. (15 min) Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel, chop, and set aside.
02
StepCook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and golden brown. (8 min) Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
03
StepAssemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the spinach, mushrooms, strawberries, red onion, kiwi, orange segments, chopped eggs, and crumbled bacon. Gently toss to combine.
04
StepPrepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, water, olive oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spicy brown mustard until well combined. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
05
StepDress and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the seasoned croutons over the top of the salad just before serving to maintain their crispness. Enjoy immediately!
