Ingredients

  • For the salad
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • a good glug of olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • red pepper flakes
  • arugula
  • good bread for croutons
  • 4-6 pieces bacon
  • For the dressing
  • 1-2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 250. Roast the tomatoes: place tomatoes on a cookie sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 hours, depending on how soft you want them to be.
  2. 2
    Turn oven up to 400. Make croutons: cube bread and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing half way through.
  3. 3
    While you cook the croutons, fry or bake the bacon. If baking, cook in 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. You can cook the bacon and croutons at the same time.
  4. 4
    For the dressing: mix together mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. (The dressing comes from Dorrie Greenspan's Around My French Table).
  5. 5
    Chop up the bacon.
  6. 6
    Assemble the salad: toss the arugula, bacon, tomatoes, and croutons together with the vinaigrette and serve.
