Maple-syrup-drizzled fruit tossed with spinach and bacon is easy and smacks of autumn.
Yvonne Duivenvoorden
Ingredients
- 6 plums
- 2/3 cup Olive oil, plus extra for coating
- 5 strips of bacon
- 8 large fresh sage leaves or 2 tsp (10 mL) dried sage leaves
- 1/2 small red onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) honey Dijon or regular Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) red-wine vinegar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 2/3 cup (150 mL) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup
- 2 5-oz (142-g) pkg baby spinach, about 20 cups (5 L)
- Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Cut plums in half and discard pits. Slice in wedges and place in a bowl. Drizzle with enough oil to coat, then toss. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil. Oil or spray foil. Place bacon and plums on different sheets. If using fresh sage, spread over a separate small piece of foil and place on sheet with bacon. Roast, turning once, until fruit is tender and bacon crisp,12 min.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice onion and mince garlic. In a small bowl, whisk Dijon with vinegar, garlic and salt. Add dried sage if using. Gradually whisk in ? cup (150 mL) oil. Put bacon on a paper towel. Set roasted sage aside. Slice bacon into pieces. Toss plums in a bowl with maple syrup.
- Place spinach in a very large bowl. Add bacon, plums and onion. Crumble roasted sage over top. Stir dressing and drizzle in just enough to lightly coat.

I made the salad for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was exceptional! I added feta cheese as I thought it needed "something" I am making it again for my New Years dinner party. I am going to guess that I added more garlic as I at least double the garlic in any recipe. Would be a great lite dinner by itself. The bacon is so good!
