Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 1 pound fresh spinach leaves stemmed
  • 12 white mushrooms sliced
  • 8 ounces bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 4 ounces goat cheese optional
Tarragon Mustard Vinaigrette
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup champagne vinegar
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 1.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the shallot, olive oil, champagne vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add the tarragon and pulse 8-10 times until tarragon is chopped and incorporated.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  3. Add the spinach leaves to a large bowl. Add the mushrooms and bacon. Toss with dressing and serve.
  4. Serve immediately.
