Salad

• Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a paper towel, wipe excess bacon grease from pan, but leave a thin coating.
• Add the walnuts and cook over medium-low heat. If the bacon grease starts smoking, remove from heat immediately and reduce heat to prevent walnuts from burning. Cook for 5 or so minutes until lightly golden.
• While cooking walnuts, combine the maple syrup, cayenne, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Once walnuts are toasted, transfer them to the bowl and toss until thoroughly coated. Allow to cool before adding to salad.
• To a large bowl, add the spinach, apple, bacon, red onion, feta cheese and walnuts.
• Shake together vinaigrette in a jar, then drizzle onto the salad and toss to combine.
• Serve immediately.
