Time 50m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces thin or medium asparagus, trimmed
4 slices bacon, halved crosswise
4 (3/4-inch-thick slices) thick-crusted country bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 slices mozzarella or Monterey Jack
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup pitted kalamata or black olives, chopped
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet in 4 bunches of 4 or 5. Place 2 pieces of bacon over each bunch, forming an X. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is partially cooked. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on.
  • Lightly toast the bread in the oven. In a small bowl, combine the oil and garlic and brush on the bread. Transfer each bundle of asparagus and bacon to a slice of bread and top with a slice of cheese. Place on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • To serve, spoon 1/4 of the vinaigrette on each of 4 plates. Place a warm toast on each pool vinaigrette.
  • To make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chives, olives, shallots, and bell pepper; set aside.

Categories     condiment

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices applewood-smoked bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/8-inch strips
1/2 cup finely minced shallots
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 cups dandelion greens
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often so the bacon doesn't burn, until the fat begins to render. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the sherry vinegar and mustard, followed by the olive oil and tarragon. Season as needed with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the greens in a bowl and toss. Add the goat cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality bacon and shallots. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of fat. Shallots should be firm and have no signs of sprouting.
  • To get the shallots nice and crispy, cook them over medium-high heat until they are golden brown. Be sure to stir them frequently so that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Just be sure to adjust the amount of vinegar to taste.
  • This vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before using.
  • This vinaigrette is perfect for salads, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This warm bacon and shallot vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new way to dress up your salad, give this vinaigrette a try.
