Spinach Salad with Grapes and Pancetta

Recipe courtesy of California Table Grape Commission

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. red seedless grapes
2 bunches (10 oz.) spinach leaves, washed and dried
3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
1/2 c. (4 oz.) pancetta or bacon
1/4 c. pine nuts
1/2 c. red onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 medium onion)
1/2 c. (2 oz.) Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated

Instructions:

1Place spinach in large bowl, set aside.
2In small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3In large sauté pan, cook pancetta over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Do not drain fat. Add pine nuts and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Add grapes and red onions; continue to cook for 1 minute. Add Balsamic dressing and bring to a boil, about 30 seconds.
4Turn off heat and pour hot dressing over spinach. Toss quickly to coat leaves. Salad should be barely warm. Sprinkle with Parmesan shavings and serve.
