Spinach Salad with Bacon, Walnuts, and Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette Ingredients: Salad: 150 g bacon, cut into 1 cm cubes 50 handful walnuts Salt, to taste 150 g baby spinach leaves 4–5 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced Parmesan cheese (tiny leaves or grated), for garnish 30 g Vinaigrette: 1 tsp mustard 1 tsp honey Juice of ½ lemon 2 tbsp cold-pressed sunflower oil 1 tsp soy sauce ½ tsp salt --- Instructions: 1. Prepare the bacon: Cut bacon into 1 cm cubes. Place in a skillet over medium heat and fry for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Let cool. 2. Toast the walnuts: Place walnuts in a microwave-safe bowl and lightly moisten with a splash of water (about half a handful). Season with salt. Microwave on a combined microwave + grill setting (C-1) for 3.5 minutes. Let cool. 3. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, lemon juice, sunflower oil, soy sauce, and salt until emulsified. 4. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cooled bacon, and walnuts. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. 5. Finish and serve: Garnish with tiny parmesan leaves or a sprinkle of grated parmesan. Serve immediately. Bon Appetit
