Warm Spinich and Bacon Salad (make this!)

Since creating this blog, it has opened up a world to all kinds of cooking blogs. Thank you to Stephanie for introducing my to The Poineer Women.  Last night I made her Spinich Salad. It really was the best spinich salad ever! It is a spinich salad with a warm bacon dressing.  We had it for dinner last night and we were very happy.  While making it I was a little uncomfortable using the rendered bacon fat as the base of the dressing, usually I would try to make it lighter, but I really wanted to see how the recipe tasted as written.  It may not be super healthy, but I will take a moment to justify it.  I figured the raw spinich, mushrooms and onions gave me at least 3 servings of veggies and we felt full, but it was not heavy or greasy. I also would prefer to give my family something homemade than something full of preservatives. I am trying to introduce vegetarian night at least once a week (sorry T, its for your own good!), so we will have a nice healthy lentil soup tonight.  This salad is so good and is an easy weeknight meal, it was 2-3 large servings.  Enjoy!
