This spinach salad with bacon and eggs recipe is quick, really easy, and bursting with flavor! The creamy and tangy garlic dressing will become a new favorite in your home.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 strips bacon
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (5 ounce) package fresh baby spinach
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Hard boil the eggs. My preferred method is to time 10 minutes from when the eggs have started to boil, and then I drain them and rinse them under cool water then let them sit in cold water in the pan they were cooked in until they've cooled (about 5-10 minutes). Peel and chop them.

  2. 2

    Cut the bacon into small pieces (I find it easiest to do this with kitchen shears). Fry in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 minutes) while the eggs are cooking/cooling. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate once cooked.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing the mayo, sour cream, balsamic vinegar, and garlic together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust as needed.

  4. 4

    Assemble the salad by tossing the spinach with the dressing and bacon pieces. Add the eggs on top. Season with salt & pepper to taste and serve immediately.
