Luxembourg Dressing

- 1⁄3 cup balsamic vinegar

directions
- 1. Fry the bacon pieces in a medium-size skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and reserve the fat in the skillet.
- 2. Saute the bread slowly in the hot bacon fat until crisp and browned. Set aside.
- 3. Whisk the garlic, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the herbs. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

- Note: I usually add grape or cherry tomatoes to the mix for some acidity.
