Creamy Bacon Dressing and Greens

Author: Brandy O'Neill - Nutmeg Nanny
This creamy bacon dressing and greens is the perfect springtime salad. It's great with dandelion greens but spinach works in a pinch too.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash greens, dry, add to a large serving bowl and set aside.
  • Let a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon.
  • Cook until the bacon is crispy, remove the bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate, and move the skillet off the heat.
  • Chop up the bacon and sprinkle onto the prepared greens.
  • Add heavy cream and butter to the skillet with the bacon grease and set over low heat.
  • While the butter and cream slowly warm in the skillet prepare the rest of the dressing.
  • In a small bowl whisk together eggs, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika until smooth.
  • Make sure the pan with the bacon grease, butter, and cream is set on low heat. The mixture should not be boiling or even bubbling.
  • Very slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the pan with the butter and cream while whisking non-stop. If you do this too fast the eggs will scramble.
  • Add all the mixture and continue whisking for a few minutes until the dressing starts to thicken.
  • Once creamy, take the dressing off the heat and pour over the greens.
  • Toss the greens with the hot dressing and bacon.
  • The greens will soften but not fully cook.
