Procedure

  2. Combine the spinach, eggs, and sliced onion in a large bowl.
  3. Pour the dressing on top of the salad, mix, and top with vegetarian bacon strips or bacon bits.

Notes, tips, and variations

  • When mixing the salad, the egg yolks will tend to crumble and disappear into the salad—this is normal.
  • Add the dressing and bacon bits at the last minute.
  • If you can’t find Worcestershire sauce, you can use soy sauce in a pinch.
