6 cups fresh spinach leaves (1.5L) stems removed
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar (22 ml)
1 tbsp maple syrup
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tbsp. bacon dripping (60 ml)
1/3-cup sour cream (80ml)
1 Granny Smith apple cored & sliced
1 red delicious apple, cored and sliced
1/2 cup raisins (60 ml)
1/2 cup walnuts pieces, toasted (60 ml)
1. Wash the spinach thoroughly. Make sure no sand remains on the leaves. Spin or pat dry between paper towels.
2. Fry the bacon in a medium sized saute pan over medium heat until it begins to crisp. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Reserve 4 tbsp. of the bacon fat.
3. Return the pan with the bacon drippings to the heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the mixture slowly to the bacon drippings. Stir well. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding the sour cream.
4. Arrange the spinach on individual serving plates. Fan both types of apple wedges over the spinach and sprinkle each plate with bacon pieces, raisins and walnuts. Spoon a little dressing over each of the plates and serve immediately.
