Sides & Accompaniments

This flavorful salad is great as a starter or as an accompaniment to a big juicy grilled steak. The salad also makes a delicious light entrée for two when topped with toasted slivered almonds and chopped egg.

Serves 4 – 6 as a starter salad

4 SUNSET® Delano™ Tomatoes
1 cup thin-sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 large bunch fresh spinach, stemmed, washed well & dried (about 4 packed cups)

Warm Bacon Dressing
1/4 cup small diced raw bacon
1/4 cup small diced red onion
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp red chile flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Cut Delano™ tomatoes into wedges and combine with mushrooms and spinach in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to dress.

In a small nonstick pan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until half done, about 2 – 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is barely tender, about 1 minute more.

In a small bowl, whisk together remaining dressing ingredients and then stir into pan. Immediately remove from heat and pour over tomato-spinach mixture. Toss until salad is well coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
