For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, smoked bacon.

If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be substituted.
For a vegetarian option, replace the bacon with smoked paprika and sautéed mushrooms.

    I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a splash of Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra tang.
