Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, around 6-8 minutes, flipping as needed.
Step 2
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet, carefully discarding the rest.
Step 3
Crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside for later use.
Step 4
In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, stir in the sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Whisk the mixture together over medium heat until it begins to bubble and the sugar fully dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the crumbled bacon pieces.
Step 7
Serve the hot bacon dressing immediately by drizzling it over your favorite salad greens, such as spinach or mixed greens.
