Use Turkey 1/2 pound of bacon ( I chopped it into little pieces and added to the oil before, be sure it cooks untill slightly crispy at least, so the olive oil absorbs the flavor)and 1/2 cup of olive oil to cook it in , instead of pork bacon.....much healthier and taste just as delicous...great alternative to those who have high cholestoral to watch out for. My kids loved it this way as well and they are not often easy to please when it comes to food.

Pretty good. Not my absolute favorite but I would probably make it again. My suggestion is to follow the recipe exactly but just be careful not to add too much dressing to the spinach so it doesn't get overwhelmingly greasy. Also, add some tomatoes or other veggie to increase the health factor.

This was really good, but a pound of bacon is way too much. I used 4 pieces, and it was plenty

My husband and I enjoyed this salad. I modified the dressing by omitting the sugar, and substituting 1/4cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed) for the red wine vinegar; I also added dashes of salt, pepper, and dried tarragon to the dressing. There was a lot of dressing, way too much for the bag (12 oz?) of baby spinach I used, so I ended up draining the salad bowl before serving. Nevertheless, this was delicious!

This was just great. I made little substitutions (rice wine vinegar, honey, red onion) but the basic recipe is perfectly delish. I scaled it back for one & it was fine. It went in my favorites book.

If you mix the eggs into the grease as stated you are cooking the eggs so they are ok to eat. I cut this in half (there was only three of us) cut back on the sugar some and used apple cider vingear (always have) and it was great. The eggs in the dressing make the dressing thick and it clinged to the spinach beautifully!

I like the bacon and eggs with the spinach. However, I felt the dressing was lacking the sweetness necessary to offset the salt and was too greasy. I would definitely not cut the sugar ( I used 3 Tbsp and found this not to be enough). I think this will be better with a sweet poppyseed dressing and the adddition of some fresh mushrooms.

Just right! I cut recipe down and used equal parts, vinegar, sugar and bacon grease. Added grease to other that was aready mixed in a bowl. Less messy that way (no splatter) Mmmm
