Salad with warm bacon dressing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute with any day-old bread you have on hand, such as sourdough or baguette. Just adjust the baking time as needed.
Smoked turkey bacon or pancetta are good substitutes. For a vegetarian option, try using smoked paprika to add a smoky flavor to the dressing, and consider adding toasted walnuts for texture.
The dressing is best used immediately. However, you can store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before using.
It's best to assemble the salad just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting and the croutons from getting soggy. You can prepare the bacon dressing and croutons ahead of time and store them separately.
Yes! Omit the bacon entirely and use a flavorful vegetable broth (or vegetable bouillon) with a teaspoon of smoked paprika in the dressing to mimic the bacon flavor. Consider adding toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein.
Skip the croutons or substitute with pork rinds for crunch. Be mindful of the honey in the dressing; you can use a sugar-free sweetener substitute or reduce the amount.
Absolutely! Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or avocado would be delicious additions. Consider what you have on hand and what flavors you enjoy.
While the recipe calls for a specific cheese, other options like crumbled goat cheese, feta, or grated Parmesan would also be delicious. Choose a cheese with a salty or tangy flavor to complement the bacon dressing.
