Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Warm Gorgonzola Dressing over Baby Greens.
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Turn the slices occasionally until they are perfectly browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, white sugar, salt, minced garlic, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Pour this luscious dressing into a small saucepan and warm it gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking.
Step 3
In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed baby greens, toasted sliced almonds, and the crumbled bacon. Drizzle the warm Gorgonzola dressing over the salad and give it a gentle toss to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
How to Serve
Serve this salad as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats or as part of a buffet spread.
How to Store
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate to maintain the freshness of the greens.
