It’s a big deal when the salad steals the show, and this is one of those times! This Bacon, Blue Cheese and Pecan Spinach Salad is a really delicious, crowd pleasing gluten free appetizer or side dish, tossed with a simple homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
I’ve always loved salads. Believe it or not, when I was a little girl, I was at restaurants ordering a side salad with my grilled cheese instead of fries. I’m not joking at all — I can remember at least one or two waiters making funny comments about that as a kid!
What can I say? I love salad. I still do. I’ve got a TON of healthy salad recipes, and today I’m sharing another winner.
When I made this Bacon, Blue Cheese and Pecan Spinach Salad the other night, I tossed it with a simple Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, and it was demolished in about 10 minutes flat.
It’s easy enough for a weeknight salad to enjoy with dinner, but fancy enough for entertaining guests. The best part, though, is how it comes together so quickly!
