We dare any salad skeptic to turn down this smoky, tangy vinaigrette. Bacon crumbles, sweet shallots, and sharp dijon form an addictive combination that's perfect for drizzling on greens, roasted veggies, eggs, and more. (We won't tell if you sneak a spoonful plain, either!)

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

  • Perfect condiment for steamed potatoes, asparagus, or cauliflower.

Recipe notes

  • If you don’t want to use the bacon fat in the dressing, you can strain the bacon after cooking and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to finish the vinaigrette.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
