Spinach Salad with Warm Onions and Crispy Salami

Got this from the "Real Simple" cookbook in the main entree salad section - and it was YUMMY!!  I didn't think Ross was going to like it - since it was just a salad for dindin, but he LOVED it and the 4 servings turned into 2 :)

Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 lb hard salami, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper
1/2 red onion, sliced into rounds
2 bunches spinach, thick stems removed (about 8 cups)
4 hard-boiled eggs

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.  Add the salami and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes.  Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Add the vinegar, mustard, honey, the remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to the skillet with the drippings.  Whisk to combine.  Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, 3-4 minutes.  Stir in the salami.

Divide the spinach among plates and spoon the onion and salami over the top.  Serve with the eggs on top.
