It’s my opinion that nearly everything is better with bacon…
especially spinach
PrintWilted Spinach
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 chopped shallot
- large bunch of spinach
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 T granulated sugar
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a large skillet for a few minutes
- Add the shallot and fry until bacon is a little crispy and shallots are soft
- Add the vinegar to the pan and scrape up any crunchy bits from the bottom
- Wash the spinach and shake off a bit
- Add to the pan and cover
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the spinach wilts, it only takes a few minutes
It’s pretty tart by itself, but I add another sprinkle of vinegar and salt, cause that’s how I roll.
My dad made this (without the shallot) a lot when I was young. It’s a great way to cook other tender greens also.
Yes, everything tastes better with bacon!
My favorite retro salad, hands down. My mother used to make it. You’ve taken it one delicious step further and instead of salad, we have a side dish. Looks great!
Well, this is a traditional PA Dutch recipe. I don’t eat much bacon but my grandkids devour it.
One of my favorite dishes. I used to ask for it on my birthday.
Just the bacon would have been enough to win me over with this dish 😀 I love spinach, it goes so well with everything.
Another great looking dish. Forgot to tell you I like your new banner – it’s been a little while since I’ve been around. {:-D
This is one of my favorites! Sometimes I even throw a few golden raisins in there.
Yum.
I love bacon and it tatses so good in a wilted spinach salad…yum!
