Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing



It’s so easy to just throw together a salad for a side dish to dinner.  But, it’s time to take a break from those pre-made bags of salad from the produce section.  This spinach salad of mine is a treat of a salad.  It’s so flavorful that it will leave your taste buds jumping.  

Simply fantastic.
