Ingredients
8 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces

2½ tbsp cider vinegar
1½ tbsp honey
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
Heaping ¼ tsp salt
Several grinds fresh black pepper
6 ounces (about 8 cups) baby spinach

Instructions
Let’s start by cooking the bacon in a pan, over medium heat until it turns crispy, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes.
While the bacon is cooking, mix cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl and set it aside.
After the bacon is done use a spoon to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels.
Save 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat by pouring it into a bowl. Discard the rest. Save it for use. In the skillet cook the shallots in the remaining bacon fat over low heat until they become soft but not browned 1 to 2 minutes.
Combine the bacon fat and shallots with the vinegar mixture. Mix well.
Add spinach. Sliced mushrooms to the dressing bowl. Toss everything together until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
Divide the salad onto plates then top, with sliced eggs and crispy bacon. Serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
