We loved this. I used this over a combination of iceberg lettuce and leaf lettuce with spicy chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, red onion, pepper rings and a little shredded cheddar cheese for dinner tonight. The dressing takes a little time, but well worth the effort. Just before serving, I transferred the dressing to a bowl and whisk it all together to combine. Perfect combination of sweet and tart. Perfect dinner salad. Thanks. Made for a bonus tag in Pot Luck tag game.

This dressing is awesome. I absolutely hate bottled dressings with soybean oil, so I had to make something with what was available. I had to use reconstituted onion flakes and just added them to the bacon while it cooked, never worrying to remove everything as directed. It still turned out excellent. I see this recipe as being very forgiving, very hard to mess up!

Great tasting dressing! I had always heard of friend's making hot bacon dressing, but I had never tasted it. I drizzled it over baby field greens as an alternative to store bought salad dressings. The warm dressing slightly wilted the greens but I loved the combo anyway. Thanks for posting!
