Orange Maple Bacon Vinaigrette Over Wilted Baby Spinach

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons Bella Nonnas Maple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon Bella Nonnas Barrel-aged Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon good quality Dijon style mustard
  • 4 tablespoons Bella Nonnas Blood Orange Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon finely minced shallots
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices center-cut bacon, cooked to a crisp and finely crumbled
  • 2 quarts young spinach leaves, stems removed, washed
  • orange wedges (peeled, seeded, cut and stripped)

 

Instructions:

Place spinach in a serving bowl.

Place the balsamic, half the crumbled bacon, red wine vinegar, salt, half the shallots, pepper, and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Gently warm while whisking – remove from heat before it reaches a simmer.

Allow to cool for a minute, and then whisk in the olive oil to emulsify.

Adjust seasoning to taste.

Gently dress spinach with warm vinaigrette and top with remaining crumbled bacon, orange pieces and shallot.

Serve warm
