Trisha Yearwood recipe

Ingredients

• 8 oz. bacon
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• Pinch of salt & pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 lb. leaf spinach, tough stems removed
• 8 oz. mushrooms, thinly sliced
• In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until just crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Set aside

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic.

Wash the spinach leaves very well and spin dry. Tear the leaves into small pieces and place in a medium salad bowl. Add the mushrooms and bacon; toss to combine. Pour 2/3 cup of the dressing over the salad (reserve the rest for another use) and toss again. Serve immediately.
