Baby Greens with a Warm Gorgonzola Dressing

Description

This was the result of an attempt to imitate a salad dressing at a restaurant. I did modify it to include bacon and I serve it warm. The dressing is also fantastic over gnocchi or tortellini.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 6 cups mixed baby greens
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Place the bacon in a large
  2. deep skillet
  3. and cook over medium-high heat
  4. turning occasionally
  5. until evenly browned
  6. about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble and set aside.
  7. Combine the olive oil
  8. red wine vinegar
  9. white sugar
  10. salt
  11. garlic
  12. and Gorgonzola cheese in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour the dressing into a small saucepan over medium-low heat and warm gently.
  13. Toss the baby greens
  14. almonds
  15. and crumbled bacon together in a salad bowl; drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
