Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 lb sliced bacon
2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1/3 cup cooking oil
2/3 lb smoked and sliced boneless chicken breast
1 lb spinach, stems removed, leaves washed (about 9 cups)
1 small red onion, chopped fine
1 tart apple , such as granny smith, peeled, cored , and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°. Toast the walnuts until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool.
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon until it is crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels and then crumble it.
In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk the vinegar with the mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oil.
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the dressing with the chicken. Let sit for about 5 minutes so that the chicken absorbs the dressing. Add the walnuts, bacon, spinach, onion, apple, and the remaining dressing and toss.
Menu Suggestions: Hot garlic bread, served either plain or with a little Parmesan cheese, goes well with all the flavors here.
Wine Recommendation: This substantial fall salad, with its hearty flavors, will taste great with a Beaujolais or, for something off the beaten path, a fruity pinotage from South Africa. In either case, chill the bottle for fifteen minutes or so before serving.
