3. Chill and Serve: Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. The flavors will meld together as it chills.

4. Serve: This tangy dressing pairs wonderfully with fresh spinach, endive, or any type of lettuce salad. Drizzle lightly over your greens just before serving to enjoy its full flavor.

Tips for Success

• Bacon Selection: Use good quality bacon for the best flavor. You can adjust the amount of bacon based on your preference for a stronger or milder bacon flavor.

• Storage: Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake or stir well before each use.

• Seasoning: Since the bacon and Worcestershire sauce already add saltiness, taste before adding additional salt. Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
