Ingredients

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar   
1 tsp Dijon mustard   
3/4 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper   
  5 oz fresh spinach, baby variety   
  2 cup(s) uncooked radicchio, coarsely chopped   
6 slice(s) uncooked reduced fat bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces   
  8 oz cremini mushroom(s), sliced (about 3 1/2 cups)   
  1 large uncooked red onion(s), thinly sliced   
  1 pound(s) cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast(s), chopped into bite-size pieces   
  1 large Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced   
1/4 cup(s) blue cheese, crumbled   

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper; set aside.

  • Toss spinach and radicchio in a large serving bowl; set aside.

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat; add bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy and browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; let drain.

  • Set same skillet over high heat; add mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.

This was delicious. I used all spinach and no radicchio. I added a bit more blue cheese and bacon and adjusted the points accordingly but it made a yummy and filling dinner. I will definitely make it again.

This recipe was delicious! My husband said it was the best salad that he's ever had and is currently chopping bacon so we can take leftovers to work! The bacon was such a treat and the flavors mixed together so well. Will definitely make this recipe again!

I didn't use the chicken and I used a Zero calorie rasberry vinaigrette dressing. I warmed the dressing with the bacon mushrooms and garlic, then poured it on the spinach. I used apples and red onion to garnish and left out the mustard and cheese.
