Questions I get for this recipe:
What kind of vinegar can I use?
While the recipe calls for apple cider vinegar, you can also use white vinegar or balsamic vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can! Just let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat before serving.
What is a good substitute for bacon?
If you don’t eat bacon, you could try using cooked turkey bacon or tempeh crumbles for a similar flavor and texture. However, note that this will change the overall flavor profile.
