Spinach Salad With Bacon And Blue Cheese

People sometimes forget how tasty fresh spinach can be and if you haven't tried it why not grab a bag next time you're out shopping. I'm using pine nuts in this recipe because they contrast nicely with the rest of the flavors but you can exchange them for chopped walnuts or skip them entirely.


4 fistfuls of fresh spinach
1 packet of bacon (ca, 140g)
100g blue cheese (a mild and creamy one works well)
ca. 1tbl roasted pine nuts (optional)
olive oil
balsamic vinegar


Rinse the spinach and place in a salad bowl.

Cut the bacon into strips and fry until crispy. Let it drain in a paper towel and spread it over the spinach.

Crumble over the blue cheese and sprinkle the pine nuts over the top.

Drizzle some nice olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar over the salad.

Serve with some nice bread.


Enjoy!
