Chef Alain’s Weekly Recipe
Spinach, Avocado & Strawberries Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Yield: 2 servings
Salad Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh organic baby spinach
– 2 large avocados, sliced
– 1 cup strawberries, cleaned and sliced
– 2 eggs, boiled and quartered
– 6 slices of thick-sliced bacon, fried and crumbled
Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Ingredients
– 1/4 cup of bacon fat (from frying the bacon)
– 1 clove of garlic, chopped
– 2 Tbsp organic apple cider vinegar
– 2 tsp raw honey or agave nectar
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– Sea salt and pepper to taste
Procedure
1. Fry bacon strips (6 thick-cut slices should give you the right amount of bacon fat) in 12 inch frying pan until crispy
2. While this is going on, hard boil the eggs (about 10 min). Run under cold water to cool. Peel and quarter.
3. Slice your spinach, avocados and strawberries. Arrange them in a salad bowl to your taste. Add quartered eggs. Cut fried bacon slices and add to veggies. Reserve.
4. When bacon is cooked to crisp, remove it and lay on paper towel. Turn off heat but keep the bacon fat in your pan
5. To prepare dressing, return pan with bacon fat to burner and heat on low
6. Add the garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, and salt & pepper to the pan
7. Using a whisk, scrape browned bits of bacon off pan and mix in with the other ingredients
8. Heat mixture about 2 minutes, or until very warm. Pour over salads and serve immediately
