"A delicious family recipe that serves up well with BBQ'd dishes. A spinach salad with a hot bacon dressing goes will with crumbled gorgonzola cheese and pine nuts. Well worth the effort to make."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper to make the dressing. Set aside.
- Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir for a few minutes, just until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Reserve a thin layer of bacon grease in the pan. Stir in about 1/4 cup of the dressing, and turn the heat to medium. Add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, and crumble the bacon into the pan. Stir in the remaining dressing, and heat through.
- Place the spinach in a large bowl. Pour the warmed dressing with bacon and onion over the spinach, then sprinkle with pine nuts and gorgonzola cheese.

This sounded so yummy, BUT my husband and 2 guests didn't love it. Made according to directions except cut back to 1/2 lb. bacon (still too much). Overload on calories and time-consuming, I do...

Very good. I think I forgot the pine nuts but I added sauteed mushrooms. Will make again.

This is a simple yet flavorful salad. The next time I will use white balsamic vinegar for the sake of appearance. I wasn't fond of the darkness of the dressing.

I used asiago cheese instead of Gorgonzola cheese and I added crumbled egg to the top. Very filling

So decadent and easy to make. We used spicy candied pecans instead of pine nuts for an added kick.

Preparation for the salad was a bit too involved for the end result. It was a nice change from regular ho-hum salad but not as dazzling as I expected.
