2 cup
Spinach
2 large egg
Egg
(hard boiled, cut into quarters)
1 tbsp
Roquefort (blue) cheese
(crumbled)
1/2 cup
Cherry Tomatoes
(halved)
2 slice
Turkey bacon, cooked
1 dash
Sea salt

4 tbsp

1/2 tsp

Instructions
Wash and dry spinach then chop into pieces
Add eggs to a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring water and eggs to a rolling boil at medium/high heat for about 8-10 minutes. Remove eggs from heat, drain and cool in ice water, and peel
Crumble cheese with hands, cut cherry tomatoes in half or leave full if they are bite-size
Cook turkey bacon by placing strips on a skillet and turn every 2-3 minutes, adjusting heat if necessary for about 8-10 minutes until bacon reaches your desired crisp. Transfer strips using tongs to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb some of the excess oil. Cut bacon into bite-size pieces for salad
Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.
Separate 1 large egg yolk in a separate large bowl, whisk
Blend egg yolk, mustard, salt, lemon juice, pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth. Slowly add oil until emulsified.
Add all salad ingredients together, drizzle with dressing. Serve and enjoy!
