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.

Recipe Note

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.
