Springtime has finally arrived along with warmer weather.  Those two things make me think of cooking outdoors and fresh salads.  With those thoughts in mind, I combined several delicious ingredients that my family loves – grilled shrimp, bacon, and spinach.  I turned these three into a wonderful salad that makes a complete meal.  Just add a little crusty bread and you are done!

      Hey there Katherine!
      Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, I think you’re really going to love it! For the dressing, you’ll want to use prepared Dijon mustard, just use your favorite brand from any store. I really appreciate your support, let me know how everything turns out I’d love to hear what you think, I hope you enjoy!
