Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a small frying pan, fry the bacon until crisp.
Meanwhile, wash the spinach and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the mustard, salt, pepper, and olive oil. When the bacon is done, add half the bacon to the mix, along with 3 tablespoons of the bacon rendering
Add the spinach and mix well, taste and add salt if needed. Add the remaining bacon to the salad and serve.
The spinach leaves need to be well-coated. Add more mustard if needed

Notes

I always use bacon with lots of meat and less fat. I enjoy that crunchy bacon meat. The bacon cooks better over medium heat. Do use a good Dijon mustard, no substitute here, as the flavor will not be the same if you use the yellow American mustard. The bacon rendering, how odd it may sound to you, gives this salad an amazing flavor. The spinach is a hardy green, and the rendering mellows it and softens it for better enjoyment.
