HOT BACON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Hot Bacon Vinaigrette Dressing image

Provided by Rebecca Lindamood

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 strips thick cut bacon (diced into 1/8-inch cubes)
3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (smooth or grainy)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir until some of the fat begins to render from the bacon. Raise the heat to medium and cook the bacon, stirring frequently, until it is crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel lined plate, keeping all of the fat drippings in the pan.
  • Return the pan to the burner. Add the garlic, swirl, and immediately add the remaining dressing ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 1 minute, or until the dressing coats the back of a spoon. It should leave a trail when your finger is drawn through the dressing on the back of the spoon. Stir in the bacon.
  • Use immediately or transfer to a heat proof jar with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, gently reheating and stirring before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Slice bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and fry until just crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • Remove bacon from pan, and all but 2 Tbsp of the bacon fat.
  • Gently saute the onion until just soft, making sure not to brown.
  • Add the brown sugar, blend in and then add the vinegar. Reduce for a minute or two.
  • Add the olive oil, as much as to your taste and the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cool, but do not refrigerate. Dress your salad just before serving.
  • Serve this warm or at room temperature over a salad of hearty greens like romaine. I usually add some very finely sliced red onion rings, mushrooms and homemade croutons, but let your imagination work here. I've thought of trying it in the summer with just onions and fresh sliced strawberries.
