This smoky dressing is great on any salad green, but we find that it's especially delicious with peppery arugula. It's so flavorful that a little bit goes a long way, and you'll love how much you'll get out of just 15 minutes of your time. After pan-searing the bacon until it's nice and crisp, stir the shallot, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of water into the bacon fat that's been left behind in the pan for a truly magical, savory combination of flavors. Keep in mind that this recipe yields enough dressing to coat about 12 cups of loosely packed lettuce.
