This is a Dinner Salad, meaning that it is all you need, unless you are a big eater. A baked Sweet Potato and Fresh Applesauce would be good. Tal and I just needed the salad. We ate a little Applesauce later in the evening.
SPINACH-CHICKPEAS SALAD WITH WARM BACON DRESSING
4 - 6 slices Bacon (Fry and crumble when cool)
1 15 oz can Chickpeas (rinse and drain) Cook your own for a bit healthier choice.
Fresh Spinach (I fill my salad bowl with what I think we will eat.
Sliced Red or Sweet Onion
Crumbled Blue Cheese
6 to 8 dried Figs, stemmed and sliced. Fresh would be better.
2 TBS Cider Vinegar or Fig Vinegar made with dried figs and Balsamic
1 TBS Dijon Mustard
1 TBS Olive OIl
After your bacon is browned, pour off the drippings. Add back 1 TBS and saute the Chickpeas until lightly browned. About 7 to 10 minutes.
In the bowl of Greens, add the Chickpeas, Onion, Bacon, and Figs.
Make dressing in the warm skillet, adding the remaining Bacon drippings, Vinegar, Dijon and Olive Oil. Cool a bit.
Pour slightly cooled dressing over the Salad and toss.
You could use a mixture of Spring Greens and Spinach. This salad must be eaten immediately.
