Spinach, Tomato, and Bacon Sauté

Spinach, Tomato, and Bacon Sauté

I wanted a quick and tasty side dish to pair with the Caramelized Onion Orzo. I found spinach and bacon in the fridge and grape tomatoes on the counter and figured they would make a tasty side dish with great flavors & textures. I served this side dish with rice vinegar on the side. We all, kids included, gobbled it ALL up.

How to Make a Spinach, Tomato, and Bacon Sauté

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Remove all but 1 teaspoon if you have more grease. Add the olive oil to the pan, once hot add the grape tomatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until just starting to wilt. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

  1. This is a great idea, Pam… I bet it was delicious! You can’t go wrong when you saute with a little bacon grease!! I bet even someone who wouldn’t eat sauteed spinach, would eat it with a little bacon grease, it sure does make everything taste better!

  2. Love this because it is like a spinach salad except cooked. I love spinach but hate how sometimes raw spinach will cause that weird feeling on your teeth.
