This speedy recipe for warm bacon vinaigrette uses both chopped bacon and the drippings to make the world’s tastiest salad dressing!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 small shallot, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a small skillet or pot over medium high heat until it is nice and crispy. Scoop it out and let it drain on a paper towel, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the shallot, vinegar and olive oil to the drippings and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for one minute.
  3. Stir the bacon back into the dressing and drizzle over salad greens, cooked green beans, or anything else you think could use some warm bacon dressing!

Notes

  • Bacon: You can use regular, thick cut, maple cured…whatever your favorite bacon is, that’s the one you want.

  • Shallot: Shallots are small, slightly sweet members of the onion family. You can swap in chopped scallions or a couple tablespoons of chopped sweet onion if you prefer.

  • Parsley: Surprise Guest Ingredient! When I have fresh parsley on hand, I will often chop it up and add it to this dressing.

  • Apple Cider Vinegar: You can trade this for red wine or sherry vinegar if you prefer.
