Is it still salad if it's covered in pork fat?


Scallop and Spinach Salad

I never realized why spinach salad with bacon-shallot dressing is so good. Now that I have made it, i understand that its basically spinach covered in bacon fat...what could be better? See recipe here from Weber.com.

I substituted canned sweet corn for the grilled corn as I figured at this point in the season corn on the cob probably wasn't going to be good enough to bother. I also remembered to put the crumbled bacon back on the salad after I took the photo.

  1. Living in California, I now substitute chicharrones (fried pork cracklins) for bacon on my salads (or anywhere, really... with breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping on pasta...). They also make for a great taco, though I don't try those at home - gotta leave some things to the professionals. :)
