• 1/2 c. organic cannellini white beans, rinsed
• 1/2 organic red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 c. Olive oil
• 3 T. Apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Gathers all ingredients.
1.Cook bacon in microwave. I usually cook a package on a plate covered with paper towels. Each strip placed next to each other and covered with 4 paper towels to absorb the grease. I usually cook it on high for 9 minutes, but microwaves vary. If unsure, start at 4 minutes and add time as needed.

2.Prepare salad on two dinner plates. Divide spinach through red onions evenly between the two plates.

3.To make the dressing, pour each ingredient into a two cup liquid measuring cup. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.

4.Pour half of the dressing on each salad.

5.Combine cantaloupe and blueberries into a small bowl. Divide evenly. Serve with the salad.
