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

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Toss the baby greens, almonds, and crumbled bacon together in a salad bowl; drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
