Ingredients

5 tablespoons warm bacon fat from 4-5 slices of bacon
1 large garlic clove minced
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons honey
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the bacon until the fat has rendered and the meat is browned and crisp in a nonstick or cast iron skillet
Remove the bacon from the pan, and set aside. Leave the fat in the skillet.
Add the garlic to the skillet, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the fat and the garlic from the skillet, and transfer to a mason jar (or another container that can withstand heat.) Be careful... this is hot!
Add the apple cider vinegar to the jar, as well as the Dijon mustard, honey and black pepper.
Place the cap on the jar, and shake until combined.
Set aside until time to serve the salad. (If this is made in advance and the vinaigrette cools, reheat in 5-10 second intervals in the microwave until the desired temperature.)

Notes

How to store: Mason jar in the fridge. Reheat in microwave.
