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.
  • 4. Combine the salad greens, bacon, croutons, and blue cheese in a salad bowl. Add desired dressing, toss and serve immediately. (I usually have dressing left over).
  • Note: I usually add grape or cherry tomatoes to the mix for some acidity.
