Ingredients

• 8 thick slices bacon
• 4 c. sliced mushrooms, preferably shiitakes, oysters, or chanterelles
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, preferably Mexican
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 8 c. Malabar spinach

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and position a rack in middle of oven. Divide bacon between 2 baking pans. Scatter mushrooms and onion over bacon. Roast until bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to break up any clumps.

2. Meanwhile, in a small microwaveable bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, oregano, salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.

3. Place spinach in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle bacon mixture over spinach. Drizzle warm dressing over salad and toss to combine.
