Notes

Yield

This recipe makes ½ cup of dressing.

Bacon

I've found that a pound of bacon yields ¼ cup of bacon grease. If your cooked bacon doesn't render quite ¼ cup, add enough vegetable or canola oil to produce ¼ cup of oil in total.

Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar tastes best in this recipe, but you can substitute with white distilled vinegar or red wine vinegar.
