4 Tbsp. Mild Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. finely minced shallots
1/2 tsp. salt

Place spinach in a serving bowl. Place the Traditional and Maple Balsamic, half the crumbled bacon, salt, half the shallots, pepper, and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently warm while whisking - remove from heat before it reaches a simmer. Allow to cool for a minute, and then whisk in the Extra Virgin Olive Oil to emulsify. Adjust seasoning. Gently dress spinach with warm vinaigrette and top with remaining crumbled bacon and shallot.
