Cómo preparar Spinach Salad With Gorgonzola Croutons And Bacon Twists

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
**Prepare the Bacon Twists:** Cut bacon slices in half crosswise. Wrap each half around a small wooden skewer or toothpick. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy.
**Prepare the Gorgonzola Croutons:** While the bacon is baking, cube 4 cups of day-old bread into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread on a baking sheet and bake alongside the bacon for the last 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
**Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, salt and pepper to taste.
**Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 10 ounces baby spinach, 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (reserve some for garnish), and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. Add the bacon twists and gorgonzola croutons to the salad.
**Serve:** Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Garnish with extra Gorgonzola cheese and serve immediately.
