Stumped on getting your kids to eat spinach salad? Try this easy recipe with lots of Cheddar cheese (and bacon!) for a yummy spinach salad with crunchy croutons.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 bag (600 g) baby spinach, (16 cups/4 L)
  • 1-1/2 cups croutons
  • 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese

Preparation

Cut bacon crosswise into thin strips. In skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel to drain. (Make-ahead: Cover and set aside for up to 1 hour; reheat 1 tsp/5 mL of the bacon fat to continue.)

In heatproof measuring cup, mix garlic with 1 tsp (5 mL) of the hot bacon drippings. Whisk in vinegar; let stand for 1 minute. Whisk in oil, salt and pepper.

Place spinach in large serving bowl. Sprinkle with croutons, bacon and all but 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the cheese; toss with dressing. Garnish with remaining cheese.
