SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM BACON DRESSING
A simple and classic spinach salad made even better with bacon. Unlike the histories of other big American salads like the Cobb and the Waldorf, the origins of the spinach salad are hazy and vague. Most likely, this tasty amalgamation has its roots in the certain German immigrant communities, where there is a tradition of composing a springtime salad of dandelions, bacon drippings, and vinegar, and typically served with poached or hard-boiled eggs...sound familiar? Over time, the dandelions were replaced by the more common spinach leaf, and an American classic was born. This recipe was featured in Season 10 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

Steps:
- Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain, and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Place the eggs into an electric kettle and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Turn the kettle on. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle will turn itself off. Leave the eggs in the water for 15 minutes. Remove and peel off the shell. Slice each egg into 8 pieces and set aside.
- While the eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper. For a creamy dressing, remove the cooked yolks from the eggs and put them in a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork. Whisking continuously, add the vinegar, sugar, mustard, and melted bacon fat until an emulsion is formed. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place the spinach in a large bowl and leave at room temperature. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water. Boil until both the whites and yolks are set (hard-boiled), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl filled with ice water and cool completely. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut each into quarters.
- Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove half of the bacon fat to a small bowl and reserve.
- Return the skillet and remaining bacon fat to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the reserved bacon fat, vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk until smooth and emulsified. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
- Pour the hot bacon dressing over the spinach and toss until evenly coated and slightly wilted. Transfer to a platter and top with the eggs, red onion and reserved bacon.

SPINACH SALAD WITH HOT BACON DRESSING
This spinach salad with black-eyed peas is a twist on one of my favorite culinary traditions: serving beans and greens on New Year's Day. Greens represent paper money and beans symbolize coins. Here I present these ingredients in salad form, which is a great delivery system for hot bacon dressing.
