Directions

Date: Fri, 09 Feb 1996 20:23:47 EST From: AKSC87A@... (MARY JO KNAPPER) Wash spinach leaves, drain well and keep chilled until ready to use. Use slotted spoon to transfer bacon to paper towels. Pour off any excess bacon fat from pan but do not wipe pan out. Add oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, water, mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, cranberry juice and cranberries to pan. Bring to simmer and stir until well mixed. (Can be made several hours ahead to this point and kept at room temperature or refrigerated overnight.) To serve, heat dressing in pan over medium heat.

When hot, add onion slices, separating slices into rings. Remove from heat.

Place spinach leaves in large bowl and pour hot dressing over salad. Toss well to coat spinach with dressing. Adjust seasoning. Divide among 6 plates, arranging a few onions and cranberries over surface. Sprinkle bacon over, dividing evenly. Serve immediately. 285 cal; 27 gr fat; 85% fat.
