A classic dish that works great as a keto-friendly meal is this spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. Adding tangy dressing to fresh spinach, crispy bacon, and other tasty ingredients makes a salad that everyone will love.
Ingredients: 6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves. 6 slices bacon, chopped. 1/4 cup chopped red onion. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. 1 tablespoon erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener. Salt and pepper, to taste.
Instructions: In a large salad bowl, place the spinach leaves. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet. In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped red onion and saut until softened. Add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and erythritol to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the dressing mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. Pour the hot dressing over the spinach leaves in the salad bowl and toss to coat evenly. Top the salad with the cooked bacon pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
