This is my most-requested salad recipe ever. It’s a staple at family gatherings, potlucks, and dinner parties. I think the blue cheese and pepper flavors make this a great accompaniment to beef, but my friends and family tell me it tastes great with anything!
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 packages mixed salad greens
- 8 slices cooked pepper bacon, torn into bite-sized pieces
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
- 6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
Dressing
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons white vinegar
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Combine sugar, vinegar, water, mustard, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes in a blender and mix on high until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil while blending on low speed until dressing is thick. Season with black pepper and additional salt, if desired. Refrigerate about 3 hours, or up to overnight.
Step 2
Place mixed greens in a large, party-sized bowl. Add bacon, onion, and blue cheese and arrange tomatoes on top. Drizzle desired amount of dressing on top and toss gently to coat.
Cook’s Note:
Be sure to use vegetable oil and not olive oil.
