Bacon does double duty in this nuanced version of Cobb salad: the crispy slices add flavor and texture, and the rendered fat becomes the base of a fantastic warm vinaigrette.

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.
