8 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 tablespoons creole mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 cups fresh spinach, tough stems removed, washed and spun dry (about 12 ounces)
1 large orange, segmented
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

1
n a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and pour off all but 1/4 cup of grease from the pan.
2
To the fat in the pan, add the onions and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, pepper, and salt and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the mustard and vinegar and cook, stirring to de-glaze the pan. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the cherries and cook, stirring, until slightly plumped and warmed through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and whisk in the oil. Return the bacon to the pan and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
3
In a large bowl, toss the spinach with the warm dressing. Divide the salad among 4 salad plates, arrange the orange segments around the edges, crumble the goat cheese over the top and serve.
