Bacon Grape and Avocado Salad
Save Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 slices bacon
- 5 ounces baby spinach leaves, washed
- 1 cup Chilean grapes, sliced into halves lengthwise
- ¼ medium red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, cubed
- 2/3 cup toasted pecans
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- flaky salt + freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Lay bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place baking sheet in the cold oven. Turn oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake bacon until crisp – cooking time will depend on the thickness of your bacon, approximately 20-25 minutes. When the bacon is crisped to your liking, transfer the slices to a dinner plate lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.
- In the meantime, prep your other salad ingredients: arrange spinach, grapes, red onion, avocado and pecans in a salad bowl or serving dish. Nestle torn bacon to the salad.
- Whisk together Dijon, balsamic, olive oil, a generous pinch of salt and ample black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Dress the salad and serve right away!
