Last night I had a nightmare; someone had stolen my spinach! Now I know that doesn’t make any sense to you, so let me explain. Someone took my spinach, therefore I couldn’t eat my Spinach Salad with Warm Honey Bacon Dressing. The spinach is important, but not as much as the dressing. If someone had stolen that, I would’ve woke up screaming!
Here’s what happened.
Recently, I went to a lovely little eatery called Blue Star. It’s quite hard to find unless you work at the scrap metal companies downtown. It was there I tasted this incredible dressing. Let me write it again….Warm Honey Bacon Dressing. Hmmm…
Let us not forget the rest of the salad: sauteed shallots and mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, hard boiled eggs and a generous portion of what…more bacon? All atop a beautiful mound of spinach, slightly wilted by the heated dressing.
It felt like they created it just for me. When I finished there was nothing left except a large pool of liquid. Best believe I asked for a container, so I could take it with me.
Warm Honey Bacon Dressing. Blue Star Cafe. Downtown L.A. Go!!!

Love hot bacon dressing on spinach. When I was growing up Marie Calendars was about the only place that ever featured this salad, now it is many places. I have their recipe somewhere in an old hand written recipe card box that I rarely look at any more, it is more than 30 years old. When I find it, I will send it to you. They also add parmesan (the finely grated kind) which kind of melts into the rest of the salad. MMM
That’s so kind of you , Devany. Thank you.
