Warm Spinach Salad with Bacon & Pine Nuts

Warm Spinach Salad with Bacon & Pine Nuts

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil 4 slices bacon – cut into ½” pieces
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 cloves garlic – small, minced1 pound spinach leaves – trimmed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

How to Prepare:
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over med-hi heat until hot but
not smoking. Add the bacon and sautee, stirring occassionally, for 4
minutes, or until browned. Turn heat to Med., add the pine nuts, and
cook for 1 min., stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook,
stirring for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, vinegar and remaining Tbsp
of oil, cook tossing gently for 15 seconds, or until the spinach is
warm and a bit wilted. Transfer to serving plates, sprinkle with
Parmesan, and serve immediately.
The texture of the pine nuts mellows the saltiness of the bacon and
the tanginess of the vinegar.
