Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ medium Granny Smith apple, (thinly sliced)
- 4 cups bagged, pre-washed baby spinach
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped peeled mango
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, (toasted)
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
Steps
-
Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan; crumble. Discard the drippings.
-
Add the orange juice, brandy, vinegar, and honey to the pan; cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Stir in the bacon, salt, and pepper.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the water and lemon juice. Add the apple; toss to coat. Remove the apple from the bowl with a slotted spoon; place in a large bowl. Add the spinach, onion, and mango to the apple. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss gently to coat.
-
Arrange about 2¼ cups of the salad on each of 2 plates; top each serving with 1½ teaspoons walnuts and half the raspberries. Serve immediately.
