This delicious salad is perfect for special spring events like Easter or Mother's Day. But, it is so easy and delicious you can serve it any day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hot bacon and onion dressing sends the flavor meter through the roof. It only takes a few minutes, but cooking the onions in the bacon grease and vinegar for a few minutes softens and caramelizes them to perfection. Combined with the salty bacon it is perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If adding a hot dressing to a salad seems strange, it is perfect for spinach salads. The warmth of the dressing wilts the spinach slightly, softening the leaves just a bit and intensifying the flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Strawberry Spinach Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don't have the red onion<\/strong> you can use shallots or even green or yellow onion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of red wine vinegar<\/strong> you can use white wine or apple cider or sherry vinegar. Be sure to turn the fan on over the stove before adding the vinegar, the hot vinegar fumes can get a touch intense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The salad is equally delicious with other berries<\/strong> as well: blueberries, blackberries or raspberries. Or use a combination of berries for some sweetness to contrast the salty savory bacon and tangy vinaigrette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
