    Blueberry Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

    Blueberries beautifully complement this tangy, satisfying, and protein-rich salad. A crowd-pleasing summertime entrée. This recipe originally appeared in Delicious Living magazine.
     

    Ingredients

    4 slices bacon
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    1 1/2 teaspoons honey
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
    Pinch salt and pepper
    5 cups baby spinach
    1/2 cup thin-sliced red onion
    1 1/2 cups sliced or cubed cooked chicken
    2 cups fresh blueberries
    1/2 cup crumbled feta or blue cheese

    Directions

    1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
    2. In a small bowl, stir the reserved bacon fat, the olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard and garlic. Whisk to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    3. Place spinach in a bowl and toss with the half the dressing; spread on a platter. Top with onion, chicken, blueberries, cheese and crumbled bacon; drizzle remaining dressing over salad.
