Warm Bacon Vinaigrette

Source of Recipe

From "Southern Living Bourbon & Bacon"


Recipe Introduction

"Skip the bottled stuff and whip up a batch of indulgent bacon vinaigrette. Minced shallots, garlic, brown sugar, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and coarse-grained mustard give it a delightfully sweet-and-tangy flavor."

List of Ingredients

◦ 4 bacon slices
◦ 4 tablespoons minced shallots
◦ 2 tablespoons minced garlic
◦ 3 tablespoons brown sugar
◦ 6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
◦ 5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
◦ 3 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
◦ ⅓ cup olive oil
◦ ½ teaspoon salt


Recipe

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon, and reserve for another use.

Cook shallots and garlic in hot drippings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until tender. Add brown sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved.

Process garlic mixture, orange juice, and next four ingredients in a blender until combined.
