Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Dressing - Gourmet_Mom - 11-28-2015
My mother's favorite salad comes from Fishy Fishy Cafe. It's called an Apple Harvest Salad. It has spinach, apples, dried cranberries, candied pecans and Asiago Cheese. I asked the chef for the dressing recipe, but the waitress told me they buy it from their food service provider. I've googled it and have a couple plans, but I decided you guys may have a tried and true recipe.

Daphne, I can't remember when I made this, but I think we really liked it. It has anchovies (can't remember if this is a no-no in your kitchen or not.)
I will make this tomorrow and test it again and let you know.

That is exactly what I would put on a salad like that. It sounds delicious.

Looks like I'll be playing with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette in the next few days. And I just so happen to have some bacon in the fridge. Just need a lemon for this recipe. I have everything for the ones I found googling and in the C@H Library.
Jean, about how much anchovy paste would you say? One or two teaspoons?
Re: Warm Bacon Vinaigrette Dressing - cjs - 11-28-2015
I'd say the equivalent of 1 or 2 anchovies should do it. I'm so anxious to try this again - especially after the salad we had today - see the dinner thread.

Thanks, Jean. I'm going to start with one teaspoon of paste and go from there after tasting. Your salad looks yummy!
