Week Of Greek: Spinach Salad

I wanted to share with you one last salad recipe that Clark and I eat year round with some frequency. The ingredients in this spinach salad are a great combination of bold specific flavors that we've grown to love.

This is what you'll need:

First - cook up your bacon.

*Now I'm all for skillet cooked bacon - it tastes yummy and when you are making a big breakfast with lots of dirty pots and pans it makes sense to cook the bacon on the stove. But - when you are making salad for dinner - I'm ALL about keeping the clean up to a minimum - so I've done like my good mamma taught me and learned how to microwave almost any food. And in order to microwave bacon so it's nice and crispy - you're gonna need a tray like this: (got mine at Wal-Mart)

Next, assemble your salad: Spinach first.

** Eat some hummus and Tostitos while you work.

Then toss on some crumbled Blue Cheese.

And have your sous chef put the cooked bacon in a ziploc baggie and crush it up.... like so.

Or - you can give it a rough chop... but again, I'm all about no clean up. Who wants to wash a knife and a cutting board if you don't have to?

Onto the salad it goes...

Throw in some tomatoes. I used half a container of grape tomatoes. Since Clark doesn't like them - they are the easiest variety to pick out.

Finally, chop up your basil. This is my favorite technique. Wash and dry some fresh basil leaves... stack them up and use your kitchen shears to shred them thinly into the salad.

Lovely...

Lastly - the woo-woo juice. The thing that make's all good things better... the reason for this week of devotionals.... the illustrious Gazebo Room Greek Dressing.

Give it all a toss and serve it up!
