Spinach Salad

Spinach salad is as simple to make as it is good to eat. This version, a favorite of Paul James, serves four:

3 cups of fresh and thoroughly washed spinach or other greens
4 slices of bacon
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of water
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 egg

Cut the bacon crosswise into half-inch-wide pieces and fry until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, reserving the drippings. Next, add the vinegar, water, and sugar to the skillet and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, beat the egg.

When the contents in the skillet begin to boil, remove them from the heat and add one-quarter of the beaten egg, stirring constantly so you don't wind up with scrambled eggs. Add the remaining egg, and continue stirring constantly until the mixture is well blended. Place the skillet back on the burner on low heat, and stir some more until the mixture begins to thicken. Then add the bacon, pour the dressing over the spinach and toss.
