Shrimp Salad With Warm Bacon Dressing and Summer Bruschetta Recipe #379947
I've tried many recipes for Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing, but none including shrimp. It looks really good, and the addition of a chopped peach makes this a recipe one I'll be interested in trying this summer. Note: Prep time does not include the time for cooking shrimp if using fresh instead of frozen pre-cooked shrimp. Also, the recipe calls for microwaving the bacon and also the dressing mixture. I'd just cook the bacon, and the dressing mixture, in a sauté pan on the stove.

Summer Bruschetta
- 1 baguette, loaf from the bakery
- 4 large fresh basil leaves
- 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto (I use the pre-made type from the dairy section)
- 1 tablespoon diced pimento
- Shrimp Salad and Warm Bacon Dressing: Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. Place in microwave-safe bowl; cover and cook on high until bacon is lightly crisp.
- Place spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes and shrimp in salad bowl. Peel peach; discard peel and seed. Cut peach into bite-sized pieces; add to salad bowl.
- Stir vinaigrette dressing and green pepper sauce into bacon drippings. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute or until hot. Pour mixture over salad; toss well and serve.
- Summer Bruschetta: Cut bread in half lengthwise, using an electric or serrated knife. Stack basil leaves and slice into thin strips; cut mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Set both aside.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl; spread onto bread halves. Top with mozzarella and basil. Slice bruschetta and serve.
