Spinach Salad

One of my patients asked for a spinach salad recipe so here goes!

1 bag of baby spinach
1 cup sliced strawberries (or 1/3 cup dried cranberries)
1 shallot, sliced
1/2 cup celery sliced about 1/4 inch thick
2 oz goat cheese, crumbled
2 strips, thick cut bacon (or 1 oz pancetta cut into little cubes)


Dressing:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1 small clove garlic, minced

1. Cook bacon or pancetta cubes until very crispy. Remove from pan and let drain on towel.
2. Arrange all other salad ingredients in bowl.
3. Whisk together dressing ingredients.
4. Crumble bacon or pancetta over greens. Drizzle dressing over salad and using tongs toss to combine.
ENJOY!!!
