Instructions: Finely chop spinach by snipping through it with kitchen shears.

Cook bacon in 10-inch skillet until crisp. Remove and reserve bacon; pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Cook onion and garlic in reserved drippings until tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in 3/4 cup of the salsa, the spinach, cream cheese and cumin. Cook the spinach mixture over medium heat until cheese is melted and dip is heated through, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/4 cup salsa and all but 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon (crumbled).

Transfer the dip to a chafing dish, fondue pot or other shallow, heated serving dish. Sprinkle with reserved bacon.

Serve warm with vegetable dippers, such as jicama and broccoli stems, tortilla chips and crackers.
