Famous spinach salad
You have to try this famous spinach salad with a twist. We love salads over here at our house. Tons of nutrients, packed with flavour, and a solid amount of protein to boot. The kicker here is the crispy white beans. They add a lovely layer of crunch and pack a serious nutritious punch bringing this whole salad to the next level.

If you have been around here for a while you will know I love a good salad. I am on a constant quest to make more interesting salads to help my family and yours eat more veggies! I am really happy with this spinach salad. It very much eats as a meal as it is packed with eggs, white beans, bacon, and TONS of spinach.

Let’s chat dressing
This dressing is a very basic vinaigrette that I used for a lot of my salads I make at home. Nothing fancy, but it has great balance and is perfect with basically any salad you whip up at home. To make it you need to add minced garlic, minced shallots, dijon mustard, maple syrup (honey works too), salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar to a bowl. Next stream in olive oil while stirring constantly. That is it! Taste and adjust the seasoning as you see fit. Trust your taste buds!

Let’s breakdown the ingredients for this spinach salad
- Spinach
- Red onions
- Bacon
- Boiled eggs – Place your eggs gently into simmering water. Let them simmer away for 7-9 minutes and then pour out the water and run cold water over your eggs. Remove the shells and chop
