Spinach Salad
I realized the other day that I have never shared my favorite spinach salad with you. It has the perfect combination of ingredients in my book creating a symphony of flavors and textures.
Start with fresh spinach leaves. Their vibrant green color is the perfect backdrop for this delicious combination. Then add in crispy bits of bacon for a salty and smoky crunch. Next sprinkle in creamy shredded Swiss cheese. This brings a subtle nutty richness to the salad.
Now you have those sliced mushrooms that give it an earthly flavor to compliment the salad. Last, crown it off with slices of perfect hard boiled eggs. The golden yolks add a creamy indulgence. It gets a drizzling of a simple vinaigrette dressing that is the perfect accompaniment to the salad.
For the dressing, you combine all of the ingredients into a blender. You will need some oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Blend and drizzle the salad with the dressing and enjoy. This salad marries the richness of bacon and cheese with the freshness of spinach. Add in the umami goodness of mushrooms! The results are a delightful balance of flavors that’s perfect addition to any meal.
