Ingredients

Salad ingredients:

12 cups baby spinach - pre-washed
8 ounces mushrooms - sliced
1/3 cup red onion - thinly sliced
8 slices bacon
6 eggs - hard boiled

Dressing ingredients:

6 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1.5 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep the spinach leaves. This is an optional step, but I like to snap the long stems off of the spinach. Not all of them will need it. Only the long ones.
Slice the mushrooms and red onions. You can buy pre-sliced mushrooms if you prefer. Make sure you slice the red onions very thin.
Cook the bacon. My preferred method of cooking bacon is to lay it on a wire rack on a foiled baking pan, and bake on 400 degrees until crispy. Then pat with paper towel to absorb grease, and crumble.
8 slices bacon
Boil the eggs. You can make the eggs on your stove top or instant pot (my preferred method).
6 eggs
Make the Honey Dijon Dressing. Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, and spices. Shake vigorously.
6 Tablespoons olive oil, 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard, 1.5 Tablespoons honey, salt & pepper to taste
Assemble and serve. Combine the spinach, mushrooms, red onions, bacon, and eggs. Drizzle with dressing, and serve.
12 cups baby spinach, 8 ounces mushrooms, 1/3 cup red onion

Notes

You can use pre-cooked bacon as a time-saver.
You can store the leftover salad dressing in a mason jar, for several days.
If you want to make a larger batch, simple adjust the number of servings (directly in the recipe) and you'll have the correct ingredient measurements.
