Ingredients
 

For the salad:

  • 8 cups mixed greens (I used romaine and baby spring mix)
  • 6 eggs
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue or gorgonzola cheese
  • Sliced honey roasted almonds (I used store bought)
  • 1/2 red onion (diced)

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup reserved bacon grease
  • 1/4 cup strawberry puree
  • 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Pinch sugar (optional)

Instructions

For the eggs and bacon:

  • To hard boil the eggs, place them in a fairly deep sauce pan and cover them with at least an inch or two of cold water. Place them on the burner over high heat. Bring them to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the saucepan, cover, and set the timer for 12 minutes. At 12 minutes, remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and dunk them in a bowl of ice water. Peel after the eggs have cooled completely.
  • Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Reserve drippings.

For the dressing:

  • Whisk together the 1/4 cup reserved bacon grease and remaining ingredients. Depending on the sweetness of your strawberries, you may need more or less sugar.

To assemble:

  • Serve greens with the toppings either in rows on top or in bowls on the side, allowing each individual to pick what they want.

Notes

  • This dressing is great for serving over chicken as well.
