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 |
3/4 cup olive oil |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 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.
