Bacon And Balsamic Vinaigrette

---

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!!

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"]".
