The salad was delicious and very easy to prepare. Make sure you drain the spinach very well or your salad will be a bit watery. Highly recommended.

Usually I love Ellie and I could not wait to make this recipe, but it turned out to be a definite disappointment. The dressing had a funky taste and it really didn't go with the rest. There are plenty of other delicious spinach salads out there. Don't bother with this one.




Yummy

This tasted great! Now I know I can have my spinach salad WITH the warm bacon dressing and still eat healthy! I made one small change, I used turkey bacon for even less fat.




Too Tasty to be good for you!?

It tasted a lot like spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, but was a lot better for you. Everyone I served it to loved it.




Delicious!

This salad was delicious and my family loved it. We had leftover salad but it was too yummy to toss out so the next day I used it as a topping for crostini. Fabulous!

This recipe was great. It was really easy to make, and it allowed me to fix up a few other side dishes while it was preparing. I really liked the combination of the apple cider vinegar dressing with the sweetness of the carmelized red onions. Probably one of the best salads I've ever made!




Wonderful salad

Very good. I had turkey bacon on hand, so rather than using regular bacon and canadian bacon, I used about 6 slices of the turkey bacon. It turned out really good!




Flavors complement each other well.

I enjoyed this salad, and my husband liked it as well. We felt the sweetness of the dressing complemented nicely with the saltiness of the bacon. I do want to make a comment about the mushrooms though. I couldn't recall how much she used on the show and thought a pound sounded like a lot, so I only used 1/2 pound, which I felt was plenty for this salad. I'll make it again.




good

This salad was good but the dressing was the best part. I didn't much like the cooked onions and mushrooms on a raw salad but my family enjoyed it.We used it as a side salad and it was a bit much. Think it would be better as a main dish.




Wow!

I love this recipe and have also found that I can do a lot of it ahead of time. Obviously, the bacon can be done ahead, but you can also cook the onions and mushrooms early and reserve them. Toss them into the vinegar mixture at the last minute to warm and serve!




Easy and Delicious!

What a great low cal salad. Very low cal especially since you don't use any oil in the dressing. Great flavor from the onions and mushrooms. Will make again and may add some hard cooked eggs.




Super easy, delicious

I have made this salad three times in the past 2 weeks because it is such a hit. I love that its simple to make, yet very delicious. Highly recommend.
