- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup reserved bacon grease, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss the spinach mixture with the dressing just before serving. Serve immediately on chilled plates.
- Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
