This simple spinach salad is easily dressed with mayo, salt, and pepper then topped with bacon and eggs.   It’s great for lunch or as a side for dinner, plus it’s made from simple ingredients that many of us always have on hand.  Spinach is the perfect base for this meal and is packed with much-needed magnesium and potassium.

Easy Spinach and Bacon Salad
You can crisp the strips of bacon and boil the eggs ahead of time to have this salad as an easy lunch option.  It’s also easy to pack for lunch, just bring the mayonnaise in a separate container. This salad is one of my all-time favorite easy options.
