Directions

How To Make Your Goat's Cheese & Arugula Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette:

1. Heat a medium skillet on medium heat and, when hot, place the bacon slices and cook for 6 minutes until crispy.
   
   
2. Pick out the bacon strips, allowing the dripping to drain back into the skillet using a slotted spatula. Next, crumble the bacon.
   
   
3. Using a precise paring knife and a wooden cutting board, finely mince the shallots.
   
   
4. Place the shallots into the bacon dripping and sauté for 2 minutes, until they are tender.
   
   
5. Move the shallot and drippings into a small bowl. Add in the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, and whisk well using a small balloon whisk.
   
   
6. In your salad / presentation bowl, place the arugula and drizzle over the vinaigrette. Toss well.
   
   
7. Add the bacon on top, and crumble over the goat’s cheese. Serve your salad with serving tongs.
