For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with smoked paprika and add a touch of liquid smoke to mimic the smoky flavor. Adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the vinaigrette can enhance the depth of flavor. If you like a sweeter vinaigrette, you can increase the amount of sugar to your liking. Use high-quality bacon for the best results. Thick-cut bacon provides a richer flavor and texture. Make sure the spinach is completely dry before tossing it with the vinaigrette to prevent a soggy salad.
