Spinach Salad with Bacon Almonds and Oranges

This Spinach Salad has a bed of spinach leaves and green leaf lettuce covered in bacon, almonds and oranges. The creamy poppy seed dressing completes it perfectly!

I was looking for a fun way to change up my favorite salad, and this Spinach Salad was the winning way. It’s a bed of spinach and green leaf lettuce with bacon, sliced almonds, mandarin oranges and a little mozzarella cheese. It is absolutely delish! 🙂

The sliced almonds give this salad a nice crunch, and the bacon and oranges give it a great salty/sweet flavor! The creamy poppy seed dressing just completes it perfectly. I love how I can make this all year round. It’s a perfect salad to serve with a holiday meal, or on a hot summer day for lunch.
