Simple Bacon Dressing

If you like bacon, then you'll love this dressing. It has a unique flavor and so

delicious! This dressing works with all kinds of salads and I've even used it

on baked potatoes and pan-fried potatoes.

• I love this salad (pictured above) with this dressing. Romaine lettuce, bacon,

croutons, parmesan cheese (finely grated), and sweet red peppers. You

could also add chopped dates and walnuts.

• Crumble half of the bacon over the salad and mix the other half (finely

chopped) in with the dressing.

• Briefly placing the salad under the broiler (to wilt) before adding the dressing

gives another layer of flavor.

• Bacon: I prefer simple, uncured bacon, thick sliced

• French dressing: Since it's a small amount, you can substitute creamy

tahini, or a hummus-based dressing. I have used hummus thinned with a

little olive oil too.

• Mayonnaise: Use your favorite.

• Apple cider vinegar: Not white vinegar in this instance,

• Onion: Red onion or Vidalia maybe?

• Parsley: Gives that color and flavor.

• 6 slices bacon

• ¼ cup French dressing (I have used olive oil)

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 Tbsp onion, ¼-inch dice

• 2 Tbsp parsley, ¼-inch dice

1. Cook the bacon until done; drain and crumble

.

2. Add the other ingredients and mix well. Chill before using.
