My husband and I love this salad. We've tried other recipes, but this one is our favorite. The flavor was mild and really enhanced the spinach. Way to go Alton!
Good standard

This went over well at our recent dinner party. Agree that cider viengar would sweeten it up a bit.
Classic and delicious!

Another great recipe from Alton Brown! This salad is soooo good my family wanted me to make again the next night. Simple to make and classic - a winning combination!
Ahhh... brings back memories

I haven't made this salad - but, I gave it five stars because it's almost exactly like a salad I had growing up which was a summertime favorite of our family. The differences in this salad and the one I had as a kid (I'm in my 50's)was that my mother used home-grown leaf lettuce instead of spinach, white or cider vinegar instead of red-wine vinegar - with equal portions of sugar to vinegar, and no eggs, mustard or mushrooms. However, even without those ingredients, it was a wonderful salad - so it must be all about the bacon... I guess anything tastes good if bacon is part of the recipe! Wow, my mouth is watering just writing about this salad...
Simple and so good!

After reading all the great reviews, I was unexpectedly disappointed when I tried this recipe. It tasted oily and very bland. Definitely will not make it again.
Amazing

This was a last minute recipe decision and it turned out perfectly. The biggest hit of the whole dinner. We didn't have any onions on hand so we did without and it was still just as good!!!
good and easy

I made this for my boyfriend and parents. It was great! Everyone loved it. It's a nice light version of your traditional bacon dressing
Good

This isn't the fairest of reviews since I used turkey bacon instead of the real deal (can't eat pork), but it sounded so delicious. Well, being that turkey bacon is like 95% fat free, it didn't render off much fat. So I just added a little olive oil and crunched up the bacon real good, and it still tasted great. It has a "smooth tangy".. if that makes any sense at all. A different sensation for the tastebuds.. lovely, and easy!
FANTABULOUS!!!

I fixed this recipe just like Alton did, and I loved it so much I had another large helping. Just the right mixture of everything. I added riped tomatoes on top as well. EXCELLENT!
Well done.

Arghhh. what happened fn.com? This is a classic, including the 2oz portion of spinach as a starter. Make this a meal and serve 8oz of spinach per diner. Keep the same amount of egg, but increase the bacon by a quarter. There's no need to increase quantity of dressing, if you like your greens lightly dressed in all their glory.
Simple and tasty

This salad is very easy to make and cannot really go wrong. I didn't have thick sliced bacon on hand, but thin sliced bacon will do quite well.
Elegant AND Delicious

I made this today for a special occasion and was very impressed. I baked the bacon in the oven as shown on T.V. and I doubled the amount of the dressing for the salad. I served this scrumptions spinich salad with homemade yeast rolls for a light spring lunch and it was a winner! Thanks Alton.
good idea WRONG recipe

The idea behind this recipe is good but it is completely wrong.. this is an interoperation of a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe that has been made for years in the spring time with wild Dandelion. Unfortunately this version has lost most of the flare of the original. Cider vinegar is used and not red wine, and there is no mustard.. For any of you that has had the original this recipe is a disappointment..
God of Spinach -Alton is thy name
