Bacon and Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This vinaigrette is sweet, tart, bacony and oniony and it's what makes people keep asking me to bring salad. And who doesn't like some real bacon in their salad? I never really measure the amounts but it always tastes fantastic!

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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

This salad is a bit too simple for my taste. I think I would add some more ingredients, like tomatoes or croutons.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The balsamic vinegar and arugula were a great combination.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less balsamic vinegar next time.
