  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.

  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: To give your dressing a little extra flavor, add some herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
