A delightful salad combining fresh spinach, crispy bacon, and a warm tangy dressing for a perfect balance of flavors.
Place the fresh spinach in a large bowl and add the sliced red onion.
Use a mix of baby spinach and arugula for a more complex flavor.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
Cook the bacon over medium heat to ensure even crispiness.
In the same pan, combine the bacon drippings with cider vinegar, mayonnaise, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
If the drippings are too hot, let them cool slightly before adding the other ingredients to prevent curdling.
Microwave the dressing in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds to warm it up.
Stir the dressing after microwaving to ensure even heating.
Toss the spinach and onion with the warm dressing, then top with crumbled bacon and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Serve immediately to enjoy the warm dressing with the fresh greens.
