Directions
-
Assemble the salads on individual plates by layering spinach, a hard-boiled egg, a few slices of roasted red pepper and avocado, and a tablespoon of chopped pecans.
-
Cook the bacon in a skillet until browned and slightly crisp. Remove from pan, leaving the bacon grease, and chop the bacon and set aside.
-
Add the shallots into the pan with the bacon grease, and sauté over medium heat until they just begin to brown.
-
Add the avocado oil, red wine vinegar, chopped bacon, sweetener, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer and then remove from heat.
-
Top the salads while the dressing is still hot to wilt the spinach.
