Apple Bacon Spinach Salad

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

Many of the recipes I post on here are creative and new to me. And many of them are tried and true favorites I’ve made for years. This one happens to be in the latter. :)

Indeed. A simple apple and spinach salad. With bacon (yes, please)  And toasted pecans (or candied…mmmm). And some tart cheese (or cheddar). And a few red onions (keep a mint nearby). And….whatever else I may feel like throwing in (I’ve made a long list of other favorite ingredients below).

You pretty much can’t go wrong with this one. So grab your apple for the day and enjoy!

Ali’s Tip:

Whenever I make this, I often add (or substitute) in some of the following ingredients too. Feel free to give them a try!

• Shredded rotisserie chicken (or grilled chicken strips)
• Roasted or dried apples (instead of fresh)
• Dried cranberries or cherries
• Other favorite greens (Romaine or arugula)
• Turkey bacon (instead of regular)
• Sliced cucumbers
• Sliced or cubed roasted sweet potatoes
