Bacon Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients

3 slices of bacon
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat a medium-sized skillet over moderate heat. Cook the bacon until brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Add the shallot to the bacon fat, and cook, stirring for 2 minutes until the shallots are translucent.
3. While the shallot cooks, combine the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Stir the oil vinegar mixture into the pan with the shallots and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the dressing into a bowl and use immediately.

Makes about 1/3 cup.
