Bringing home the bacon: Spinach and bacon salad with almonds

Pig out on leafy baby spinach topped with bacon, almonds, cranberries and feta cheese.

The feta and bacon give the salad a savory flavor, and the cranberries create a sweet and salty vibe with a tart nudge.

If you wanted to pair this with some vino, I would recommend a sparkling white wine.

Tip: I use store-bought balsamic reduction glaze, but if you wanted to get fancy and make it, check this out:
