About the recipe

Classic, comforting and simple, this is all about getting the details spot on – fresh salad and spinach leaves, crisp smoky bacon, a delicious, bright, smooth dressing, and, of course, those crunchy bacon-fat croutons. This is hard to beat.

A couple of ideas to tweak this salad: a tiny amount of crumbled blue cheese or feta would be very nice, but you don’t need to add much to make a difference. Similarly, some matchsticks of seasonal orchard fruit such as apple or pear would be a joy.
