Step one: Crisp bacon. Step two: Turn bacon fat into an addictive warm vinaigrette. Boom. Cooks' Notes: We love how the warm dressing clings to tangles of frisée in this Cobb salad recipe, but any crunchy lettuce like romaine or endive would be great. Choose tomatoes that feel heavy for their size. As long as they’re ripe, any type will work. And streaming oil into the already-fatty bacon mixture might cause the vinaigrette to break, but don’t fret! It’ll still be totally delicious.
