By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 5 medium green onions, chopped (1/3 cup)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons white or cider vinegar
• 8 oz fresh spinach leaves (9 cups)
• 2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

1 In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Drain all but 3 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet (if fewer than 3 tablespoons remain, add enough vegetable oil to drippings to equal 3 tablespoons).

2 Add oil, onions, sugar, salt and pepper to drippings in skillet. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are slightly softened. Stir in vinegar.

3 Place spinach in very large bowl. Pour warm dressing over spinach; toss to coat. Arrange egg slices on top. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top. Serve immediately.
