Recipe Box, Mixed Green Salad with Corn & Bacon Dressing
Salad topped with a warm bacon and corn vinaigrette?
Yes please!
Sounds fancy but it’s a breeze to make
and your tastebuds will thank you!
Corn and bacon are combined with several other vegetables,
rendered bacon fat, vinegar, and mustard
to make the dressing to top a mixed green salad
I used green onions and roasted Brussels sprouts,
but you could sub broccoli or cauliflower,
roasted or raw, for the sprouts,
or leave the sprouts out if you’re not a fan~
First cook bacon pieces until crispy
Remove bacon from the skillet to drain on paper towels
Remove all but 1 Tbsp of bacon grease from pan,
reserving the rest of the drippings
Then add corn, chives and Brussels sprouts*
*I used small Brussels sprouts that I previously roasted
but you could use sliced raw sprouts if desired
Cook and stir over medium heat for several minutes
to warm vegetables
Add vinegar and mustard, season with salt and pepper,
stirring to combine
Add bacon back to pan
Taste and add more vinegar, mustard or drippings if desired
Fill a bowl or bowls with mixed salad greens
I used large individual bowls,
but you can use 1 large bowl if preferred
Spoon the warm bacon and corn dressing over the salad
and serve immediately
