Instructions

1

• Wash and dry produce.

2

• Halve, core, and thinly slice apple.

3

• Heat a medium dry nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Using kitchen shears, cut bacon* into bite-size pieces directly into pan. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 4-6 minutes.

4

• Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.

5

• In a large bowl, combine spinach, apple, bacon, half the cheddar, half the cranberries, and half the walnuts.

6

• Add as much dressing as you like and toss to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.

7

• Divide salad between shallow bowls. Top with remaining cheddar, remaining cranberries, and remaining walnuts. Serve.

Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
