Wow, I hate to be negative, but I didn't realize before I invested in the ingredients that the dressing would be made up of primarily bacon fat. The other thing is that as much as we love goat cheese, it seemed over powering, I don't think mine melted enough. Then, I used reguar cooking sherry from the grocery store. If I had to do this over again, I would buy regular wine, use a higher concentration of olive oil and a hint of bacon fat and use much more spinach than the recipe calls for. I had a stomach ache after eating it. We're just not used to eating such high fat.
The actual ingredinets seem like they marry nicely together.

MY ENTIRE FAMILY ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS SALAD - OFTEN TIMES I SUBSTITUTE TURKEY BACON FOR THE PANCETTA BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS NOT FOND OF PORK AND I'LL USE A PINT OF GRAPE TOMATOES HALVED INSTEAD OF THE CRANBERRIES, VERY DELICIOUS AND PRETTY

This salad is DELICIOUS! I made a few substituitions because of what I had on hand. Instead of cranberries, golden raisins, instead of panchetta, bacon, and instead of sherry vinegar, white wine vinegar. Oh, I also took the advice of another reviewer and sprinkled walnuts on top.

This is THE BEST salad ever. Sweet, tangy, salty, crunchy, soft, spicy all in one salad. I have made this numerous times and it NEVER disappoints!

This was awesome! I will definitely make this one again. It's really important to serve this right away while it's still warm. Great salad.

I've made this FANTASTIC salad 3 weeks in a row now! I needed a recipe to impress but at the same time it had to be low maintenance and one that can be prepped ahead of time. Talk about hitting the jackpot! I do want to stress though that it needs to be consumed ASAP. Otherwise, it loses some of it's beauty (cold bacon fat is NOT good. Thank you Michael!!!

This was very delicious! A definite keeper/repeat. Even my young, picky daughters (7 & 10 enjoyed it! I couldn't find the sherry vinegar, so I used a white wine vinegar, but it was not missed. I'd still like to try it with the sherry vinegar though. I made some crostini with it, and it was perfect.

One of the best salads I have ever made. I also put in some walnuts for some crunch and it turned out great. This is almost a meal in itself.

This recipe does not disappoint. We add a little bit more olive oil/rendered fat. It also seems to have a bit more balanced flavor if you add a bit of honey or maple syrup. Absolutely delicious!
