Description
A vibrant and nutritious salad perfect for spring, combining fresh spinach with various toppings for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup neutral oil (safflower, grapeseed, vegetable)
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 5 oz (about 6 cups) spinach
- 5 slices cooked bacon (chopped, optional)
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
- ¾ cup sliced radishes
- ½ cup finely chopped scallion
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a large measuring cup, whisk together the oil, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the salad: In a large serving bowl, start by adding the fresh spinach. Then, layer in half of the chopped bacon (if you’re using it), the chopped hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced radishes, and finely chopped scallions.
- Combine: Pour about ¼ cup of the prepared salad dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
- Top and serve: Finish by topping the salad with the remaining bacon, eggs, radishes, and scallions. Drizzle additional dressing on top if desired, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
For optimal freshness, serve immediately after tossing with dressing. You can make the dressing ahead of time.
