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