I love a great spinach salad! Add bacon and a warm dressing and I am in heaven! The fact that it doesn’t take a lot of time prepare is a bonus. It is also perfect during any season.

How to Make a Warm Bacon Dressing

The recipe below provides two different options for making a warm bacon dressing. Both are great on a spinach salad. Your choice; a red wine warm bacon dressing or a balsamic warm bacon dressing. How can you go wrong with warm bacon fat? Bacon makes everything taste better! The red wine vinegar dressing isn’t as thick as the balsamic dressing but just as delicious.
