About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Not sure why they call this warm spinach salad since the only warm thing you use is a couple of tablespoons of the bacon grease that's whisked into the other dressing ingredients. By the time it's mixed up and drizzled over the salad it's not warm anymore. Any way it's delicious. We loved the mixture of flavors and textures of the salad ingredients and dressing. There's baby spinach, Pistachios, crumbled bacon, grapes and blue cheese. The dressing of Dijon, white wine vinegar, water, shallots and bacon drippings gives a perfect dressing for this wonderful salad. My daughter requested this salad for part of her birthday meal this year.
