  • Render the Bacon: Cook four slices of bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  • Prepare the Base: In the bacon grease, add ¼ cup of olive oil and cook ¼ cup of chopped onions until they are just turning brown.
  • Thicken if Desired: Stir in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to create a roux (optional, depending on the salad).
  • Deglaze and Flavor: Pour in ⅓ cup of white wine to deglaze the pan, followed by 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and ¼ cup of your chosen vinegar.
  • Sweeten: Mix in 3 tablespoons of honey (or replace with 2 tablespoons of sugar for a different kind of sweet).
  • Season: Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Combine and Serve: Reintroduce the bacon (chopped) to the mixture. For a German-style potato salad, simply heat the vinaigrette and toss with boiled potatoes and green onions.
