Hot Bacon Dressing
Great dressing just like my mom used to make to use over a wilted lettuce salad! I was raised on this, and a user from SendMeRecipes Forum actually posted it! It's really a great comfort food for me.

Step-by-step
- In a saute pan saute the bacon until brown, add the onions and saute until translucent.
- Drain and set aside mix the next 8 ingredients and mix well.
- Slowly add the oil and blend well.
- Add the bacon and onions.
- If to thick thin the dressing with vinegar.
- Adjust seasonings and serve within 30 minutes.
- Does not store well.
Can vinegar replace lemon juice when the pantry runs dry? Acetic acid concentration dictates the sour profile in warm vinaigrettes, meaning standard 5 percent distilled white vinegar requires a direct 1:1 swap, whereas milder rice vinegar needs a 25 percent volume increase to match the same acid punch.
- Render bacon over medium-low heat for exactly eight minutes to extract maximum fat without scorching the protein solids.
- Whisk oil into the egg and vinegar base in a slow, steady stream to build a stable temporary emulsion rather than a broken pool of grease.
- Slice onions to a uniform thickness of one-eighth inch so they soften evenly alongside the rendered pork.
- Serve the mixture within thirty minutes because raw egg yolks combined with hot fat will begin to separate and curdle as the temperature drops.
Overheating the pan during the initial meat rendering will scramble the tempered egg yolks upon combination. Careful temperature control ensures a velvety texture over sturdy greens.
