Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing

What you’ll need:

•	1 large bunch of fresh spinach
•	6 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped, saving bacon grease
•	2 eggs, hard boiled in sauce pan, then chopped
•	2-3 green onions, chopped
•	½ cup Balsamic vinegar
•	½ tsp dried onion flakes
•	¼ cup sugar

What to do:

1.	Clean and dry spinach leaves. Place spinach and green onions in large salad bowl.
2.	Cook bacon per instructions. We like cooking bacon in a 400 degree oven on a cookie sheet. Cook eggs to hard boiled and chop.
3.	Add bacon, egg, and chopped green onions to spinach.
4.	For dressing: Combine bacon grease, vinegar, onion flakes, sugar and salt. Heat in sauce pan until just bubbling. Turn off heat.
5.	Pour dressing over spinach. Serve immediately.
*	Other variations: We like this recipe with added cheeses, such as crumbled bleu, goat, or feta. We also sometimes add nuts such as chopped pecans, walnuts, or pine nuts. We have also added some fruit for variation such as diced oranges, dried cranberries, or chopped dates.
