This salad is delightful! Hands down one of my top 5 favourite salads I consistently make. It is a great salad to make for guests or for bringing to a potluck. It is filled with so much flavour! You’ll definitely want to add this salad to your recipe repertoire.

Yield: 16 servings
Calories/Cup: 109
Ingredients:
- 2 packages (6 ounces each) fresh baby spinach
- 1 medium apple, chopped
- 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup glazed pecans*
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled**
Dressing
- 2 tbsps cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup canola oil
* I had glazed pecans on hand. If you end up making them this will add time to the recipe. I don’t like making them on the stovetop because I find they stick together too much. I like making them in the oven. Just mix together 1 egg white with a bit of water and toss 1 lb pecan halves in it. Then mix 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, & 1 tsp salt. Toss over pecans and spread onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 30 min or until evenly browned.
** Normally I use Hormel Real Bacon Bits in salads. It is a bit costly but it definitely saves on time! You can buy it at Walmart or most grocery stores.
