In this hearty mushroom and spinach salad recipe, sturdier “mature” spinach leaves hold up better than baby spinach when tossed with the warm mushroom-and-bacon vinaigrette.

Love this salad and my guest always want the recipe. I have not added the radicchio, it's hard to find. Added more shallots + an extra TBLS on EVOO. I also used baby spinach which works great. We are vegetarians and the meatless bacon works great! I always remove the spinach stems..easier to eat.. Awesome winter salad with a bowl of hearty soup!

Great winter saladIn the (many) months when lettuce is ho hum, spinach is usually great. This comes together really nicely, and the hot dressing wilts the spinach just to the right point. Last night I didn't have mushrooms or radicchio, so added a little more shallot and some plain canned corn. Sounds weird, tasted great. A few halved cherry tomatoes for color, we ate a whole bag of spinach.Pros: Easy, quick, delicious, flexibleCons: A lot is not enough!
