BACON SPINACH SALAD

Walnut Dressing
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, garlic, shallots, and parsley. Add the oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify. Do not add the oil too quickly or the dressing will separate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
