The ingredients for Spinach Salad With Candied Pepper Bacon include fresh spinach, bacon, brown sugar, black pepper, red onion, goat cheese, and a homemade dressing made with balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
To make the candied pepper bacon, you will need to cook bacon in a skillet until it is almost done. Then, sprinkle brown sugar and black pepper on top of the bacon and continue cooking until the sugar is caramelized and the bacon is crispy. Let it cool and then chop it into small pieces for the salad.
Yes, you can use a different type of cheese for this salad. Crumbled feta or blue cheese would also pair well with the flavors of the spinach and candied pepper bacon.
This salad is best when served immediately after making it. However, you can prepare the dressing and candied pepper bacon ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Simply toss the salad together right before serving.
In addition to the candied pepper bacon, red onion, and goat cheese, you can also add other toppings such as dried cranberries, sliced apples, or toasted nuts for added texture and flavor.
