Spinach, Tomato, and Bacon Sauté
I wanted a quick and tasty vegetable side dish recipe to pair with seared sea scallops and caramelized onion orzo. I made this quick and easy spinach, tomato, and bacon sauté recipe. I served this spinach side dish with rice vinegar on the side, and we all loved it.
Spinach, Tomato, and Bacon Sauté
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked & crumbled (remove all but 2 tsp bacon grease from pan)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 3-4 cups of baby spinach cleaned
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
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 2 teaspoons if you have more grease.
Add the olive oil to the skillet. 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.

This is so delicious, quick and GOOD for you!
This sounds amazing!I will use vegan bacon!
Cheers,dear Pam!
This MIGHT just get my fiance to eat more spinach! So yummy!
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!
It looks great! Too bad we can’t have bacon any more – too much sodium.
Bacon and spinach is a perfect pair. Great side dish!
What a fun, colorful and delicious looking side Pam! I don’t think dinner would ever be boring at your house!
I made a similar side (minus the bacon) just the other day! So fresh with the spinach and tomatoes.
Great salad for spring and I kove that you added bacon.
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.
