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

Notes
- Choose premium thick-cut bacon for better texture and flavor
- Use only fresh-grated Parmesan from a block, never pre-grated
- Select fresh, crisp greens and inspect carefully before using
- Consider using pasteurized eggs for food safety
- Dry greens thoroughly - wet leaves won't hold dressing properly
- Cook bacon until very crisp for best texture
- Make dressing just before serving for optimal freshness
- Grate Parmesan just before using for best flavor
