Strawberry Spinach Salad

Do yourself a favor and make this salad! You won’t be disappointed! This salad makes a ton, so I half it. You can find the original recipe here. I do a couple of things a little differently. I hope you love it as much as we do!!

Ingredients

7-10 cups fresh baby spinach, washed

2 lbs. fresh strawberries (I usually throw a bunch out if the strawberries are nasty, use what you want here)

1 lb. candied bacon (below)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

In a large bowl toss the spinach with the strawberries and candied bacon. In pint size jar, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Add dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle the feta over the top of salad. Serve immediately.

Candied Bacon
1 lb. bacon, cooked
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup brown sugar
Sprinkle pecan and brown sugar mixture on the bacon and broil. Watch very closely- cook until mixture is candied (around 2 minutes when rack is on the bottom rack,)
