I am so excited to share this fall spinach salad recipe with you! It is amazing. In fact, I am not ashamed to say that I ate two huge bowls of this heavenly stuff after I shot these pictures. I would have eaten more, but then I remembered the six other people living with me and the guilt of eating all this salad by myself kept me from eating the entire bowl.

Because I very easily could have eaten this entire bowl by myself.

Even my kids who don’t love salad (or even really like it), love this salad. There is just so much to love. The fresh Granny Smith apples, combined with crisp bacon, sweet and crunchy walnuts, beautiful dried cranberries, and soft cheese, all covered with a maple vinaigrette, makes this salad a hit wherever it goes. It is the ultimate fall salad.

Start by making the candied walnuts and cooking the bacon. While these little nuggets of goodness are cooling, chop the apples.

Combine the spinach, candied walnuts, dried cranberries, Gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, and chopped bacon in a large bowl. Combine the salad dressing in a separate bowl or jar, and then pour that goodness over the top.
