Ingredients:
6 cups packed fresh spinach leaves, stems removed
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced red onion rings
1 can (10oz) mandarin oranges, drained
2 slices raw bacon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/8 tsp black pepper
Directions:
Toss together spinach, mushrooms, onion rings and 1/2 the mandarin oranges in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Shake off excess drippings and transfer the bacon to a blender or food processor.
Don't discard the bacon drippings! Leave them in the skillet!
Add remaining mandarin oranges and lemon juice to bacon in the blender.
Whirl briefly until oranges and bacon are pureed.
Return orange/bacon mixture to skillet with bacon drippings.
Add garlic, honey, vinegar and pepper. Mix well.
Mixture should still be quite warm, however, you may reheat it over medium heat if desired.
Divide salad among 6 serving plates and drizzle warm dressing over top. Serve immediately.
