How to Make Spinach Shrimp Salad With Hot Bacon Dressing

  2. Add minced garlic to the bacon grease and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Whisk together the reserved bacon grease, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to create an emulsion.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cooked shrimp, crumbled bacon, and red onion.
  5. Pour the hot bacon dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
