Dont forget to wash your spinach well, since it grows in sandy soil and you want to make sure it is free of any grit. You can also save time by using prewashed spinach found in the produce department.
4 slices bacon, diced
1/4 cup white or cider vinegar
8 ounces spinach or 2 bunches leaf lettuce, coarsely shredded (6 cups)
5 medium green onions, chopped (1/3 cup)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1. Cook bacon in 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Stir in vinegar. Heat through; remove from heat.
2. Add spinach and onions to bacon mixture. Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper. Toss 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
To wash spinach, remove and discard spinach stems. Place leaves in a sink or bowl filled with cool water. Swish with your hands to rinse off the dirt. Lift the leaves up to drain off excess water. Repeat until no dirt remains, changing water if necessary.
