Spinach Salad with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette





Thanks for this recipe mom. By the way, multiply the vinaigrette 5 times and you get about 1 quart!







Spinach Salad with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette

1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons minced shallots (about 1 medium)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon country-style Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup toasted pecans
1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion
1/2 cup chopped Braeburn apple
4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pecans and remaining ingredients; toss well to coat.
