Ingredients

• 1 unit Granny Smith Apple
• 4 ounce Bacon
• 5 ounce Spinach
• ½ cup White Cheddar Cheese
• 1 ounce Dried Cranberries
• ½ ounce Walnuts
• 3 ounce Honey Dijon Dressing
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

Prep

• Wash and dry produce.
• Halve, core, and thinly slice apple.

Cook Bacon

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

Combine Ingredients

• In a large bowl, combine spinach, apple, bacon, half the cheddar, half the cranberries, and half the walnuts.
• Add as much dressing as you like and toss to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish & Serve

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

Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
