Aunt Rocky’s Spinach & Chicken Strawberry Salad (Low Carb)

In a small bowl, warm the bacon crumbles in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Set aside.

In a large bowl, layer the salad ingredients, add the bacon crumbles and top with sliced almonds or seeds.

In small glass measuring cup, melt the bacon grease and sugar free preserves together in the microwave (20 seconds or so). Add the remaining dressing ingredients and mix well.

Drizzle warm dressing over the salad. Serve.
