SPINACH BACON SALAD WITH HONEY-BACON DRESSING

Category: Salad

8 cup fresh baby spinach
1 cup sliced fresh crimini mushrooms
1/3 cup sliced green onion (white and green parts)
2 lg. hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup shaved (not finely grated) parmesan cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled, divided
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp spicy brown mustard
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice

First, assemble the salad. In a large, easy-to-transport salad bowl, combine the spinach, mushrooms, onion, eggs, and parmesan cheese. Add 3/4 of your bacon crumbles.

To make your dressing, whisk together the rest of your bacon, the honey, the vinegar, the oil, the mustard, the pepper, and the lemon juice. Place in a second re- sealable container.

Right before serving, pour dressing over salad and mix. If you dress this cold picnic food recipe in advance, it'll get soggy. Serves 4-6
