Call me crazy, but I'd rather eat spinach hot than cold. And, I use "baconed" as an adjective. Someone really needs to lock me up.
This is my favorite way to eat spinach. Why? Two words - bacon. grease. Yes, bacon makes the world taste better, and this dish is no exception! Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the best part. One serving (2 cups fresh spinach and 1 piece bacon) is only 58 calories and 3 grams of fat!
Cut up some bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet until extra crispy. You really don't need a lot of bacon to make this dish good...I often just use 1-2 pieces. (ps...I apologize for the totally unappetizing photo...it's the bacon's fault)
Throw in a generous splash of red wine vinegar (up to 1 tablespoon).
Then, toss in some fresh spinach! Use 2 cups of fresh spinach for each piece of bacon...at least that's what I do.
Stir the spinach around for about a minute, or until it wilts. Serve immediately! For a really crazy touch, try adding some corn. It's a beautiful thing!
