1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or salad oil

Salad Ingredients

6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp
1 lb fresh bagged spinach leaves
1 apple diced into cubes
3 green onions, thinly sliced (a.k.a. scallions. You cut up the white part and throw away most of the green part)
1/4 cup salted sunflower nuts OR toasted sliced almonds

directions

1
Crumble bacon. Toss with spinach, apple and onions in a salad bowl.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and black pepper. Whisk in the oil until blended.
3
Just before serving, drizzle dressing
4
over salad, tossing well. Sprinkle with the nuts.

notes

Depending on how you like it, you can add more or less of any of the salad ingredients. I like mine with more apples! I also find it easier to put the dressing ingredients in a shaker and shake the dressing instead of whisking it.
