Ingredients

2 slicees bacon, hickory-smoked, thick-cut
1 medium shallot minced
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
6 oz baby spinach
1/4 cup pecans, toasted, chopped

Directions

Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings (do not wipe pan clean). Add shallots to pan; saute over medium heat 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add cranberries, vinegar, and broth; bring to a simmer, and cook 4 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat; stir in oil and brown sugar.

Place 11/2 cups spinach on each of 4 plates; drizzle 1/4 cup warm dressing over each salad. Crumble bacon, and sprinkle evenly over salads; top each salad with 1 tablespoon pecans.
