Though salads aren't at the top of most Thanksgiving menu plans, serving a hearty salad alongside your other Thanksgiving side dishes is a fresh change from the typically carb-heavy accompaniments to the meal. This salad zings with tangy, smoky flavor from the dressing.
Ingredients
- 10 cups torn, mixed greens (such as escarole, spinach, raddichio, endive, red leaf lettuce)
- 1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 3 slices lean bacon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large bowl, toss mixed greens, onion, and gorgonzola together; set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until browned and crisp. Remove bacon, crumble, and set on a paper towel to drain. Reduce heat to low.
- Pour grease out of skillet and add olive oil, vinegar, and mustard whisking to combine. Heat through and add bacon. Remove from heat and season with black pepper.
- Drizzle half of the dressing onto the salad, scraping the bacon bits out of the skillet. Serve immediately with remaining dressing on the side.
