No pictures today, but we had the tastiest dinner tonight, so I wanted to share it (and have it on my blog so I can remember it later). This is a very slight variation of my friend Kendee’s recipe. It’s also scaled down for two adult servings – but keep in mind this was our entire dinner (along with some ciabatta bread from Trader Joe’s), so we ate pretty large servings.
Salad Ingredients:
1/2 bag of baby spinach
6 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
handful of sliced almonds
1 avocado, cut into chunks
handful of Craisins
handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Directions: Place the spinach in the bottom of your bowl. Sprinkle each remaining ingredient over the top, creating layers. When you are ready to serve, toss together with the salad dressing (you won’t need it all) or serve with the dressing for individual servings.
Spinach Salad Dressing:
1/4 C. red wine vinegar
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. honey mustard
1 C. olive oil
Put all of the ingredients (except the olive oil) in the blender. Mix up, then add the oil, and blend again. It is DELISH! And pretty healthy too.

that sounds so delicious! cami made a really good spinach salad with pomegranate seeds at our last family dinner and i tried to recreate it with dressing from trader joe's. i didn't think to use things like bacon or avocado, so i'll have to try that!
sounds delish. I love good recipes for dressings too. It's always so hard for me to buy bottled dressings. Was it really that cold? When we left on Thurs it was 4 degrees and 0 degrees practically the whole way until colorado. What a cold day!
