Ingredients

6 slices bacon
2 oranges, peeled
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Crumble into small pieces.
2 Separate oranges into individual wedges. Cut each wedge into thirds.
3 Combine bacon, oranges, spinach, red onion, and pine nuts in a large bowl; toss lightly.
4 Whisk oil, orange juice, vinegar, and salt together in a small bowl to make dressing.
