Cup of Yum
Salad Dressing
- Put 1/2 cup oil and remaining ingredients in a blender. Cover and blend at low speed. Remove cover and gradually blend in remaining oil.
To Serve
- Pour 8 tablespoons dressing over salad and toss. Divide onto individual salad plates or into bowls and garnish each serving with a hard-cooked egg half.
Notes
- Use premium thick-cut bacon and cook it very crisp for texture and flavor.
- Grate Parmesan cheese fresh from a block to enhance flavor and avoid additives found in pre-grated cheese.
- Wash and dry salad greens thoroughly; wet leaves will prevent dressing from sticking well.
- Prepare the dressing right before serving to maintain freshness and optimal texture.
- Consider using pasteurized eggs in the dressing for food safety, especially if serving to children or vulnerable individuals.
