The beauty of the Warm Spinach Salad is its versatility. It can be enjoyed as a hearty side dish or transformed into a full meal by adding protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, or even a poached egg on top. The warm dressing also makes it a perfect candidate for seasonal variations. In the colder months, consider using ingredients like roasted butternut squash or warm sautéed mushrooms to elevate the salad’s warmth and comfort.

Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
-
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, onions, and dried cranberries.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil, pour in the dressing, and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and promptly drizzle it over the spinach salad.
-
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped eggs and pecan halves over the salad. Gently toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.
