Arugula and Bacon Salad….Need I Say More?

Arugula Salad With Russian Dressing
 
Cooking Time: 20 minutes; Yields 2-4

 

Ingredients 
Dressing…
1 T white onion; minced
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
4 tsp horseradish
1 tsp Frank’s hot sauce
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
 
Salad…
1 container arugula
4-8 pieces thick cut bacon; 2 pieces per person
Cooking Instructions

 

  1. Dressing…
  2. Add 1/4 of an onion to your food processor and pulse a couple times to chop
  3. Add your mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, franks hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, paprika, and salt to your food processor.  Run your food processor until everything is mixed thoroughly.  Also, give it a small taste test to see if you need any more of one ingredient (normally the recipe is pretty spot on and you don’t need to add anything).
  4. This dressing keeps up to 4 weeks in a sealed container, refrigerated.
  5. Salad…
  6. While your dressing is cooling in the refrigerator lets start the bacon
  7. Place a cast iron, sauté pan, or whatever you have that can hold the bacon over medium low heat.  The secret to bacon is to cook it low and slow.  I try to turn the bacon at least three times on each side.  By using this cooking method, it allows it to cook without getting too hot and burning.
  8. Place the bacon on a couple paper towels, when done cooking, to help soak up any excess grease
  9. Lets assemble the salad.  Place all the arugula into a large mixing bowl.  Place 4-6 T of Russian dressing over the salad.  You may find you want more or less dressing, so remember you can always add but it’s hard to take dressing away.  
  10. Once you have all your leaves coated with dressing, plate up the arugula and top with two pieces of bacon per serving.
  11. Y’all this is the MOST low maintenance salad ever and tastes sooooo…..good.  We literally have it once a week. 
  12. Enjoy!!!
