Wilted Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

Recipes »  Salad  »  Green Salads

Quick....prewashed baby spinach and tasty dressing

"I used splenda, with frozen spinach(frozen was all i had in house)..served it with pinto beans and it turned out great..maybe a bit sweeter than I expected but my roommate ate it all and she doesn't even like beans. She said the contrast to the beans made them a good combination and the beans enjoyable.. I also topped with tomato and green onion. Going to try it with fresh greens next. Cant wait :))" - Petraspot

Made it per the instructions, and it was awesome! Well, maybe I went a little heavy on the garlic, but I liked it that way. Added a little feta, which didn't change the flavor much; just added depth. Yum.

great and simple recipe! I swapped out the splenda for 1 tablespoon honey, left off the boiled egg and added some red pepper flakes for a little more bite. Served over plain couscous and topped with balsamic marinated salmon. This basic recipe will be one of my regulars!

I expected a sweeter dressing. I made this with Splenda and did use about 1-1/4 tsp. Splenda. I felt it was a little too tart for me. Otherwise very good.

The dressing is not as sweet as I would have liked but it's still good. I added chopped eggs and crumbled bleu cheese to the salad which gave it a little more flavor.

Added sauteed mushrooms. My boyfriend and I loved this salad!
