Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 3 portobello mushrooms, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 7 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced

Method

  • In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool, then crumble.
  • Cut mushrooms into strips and toss gently with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms, stirring often, until tender and water has drained out, about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet to a bowl and let cool.
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly. In a large salad bowl, toss spinach, onion and mushrooms gently with dressing. Sprinkle bacon on top and serve.
