Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the vinegar, honey, Italian seasoning, garlic and some salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle the olive oil until the dressing is combined and emulsified. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, or add more oil if you want it less acidic.
Lay out the bacon in rows on the prepared baking sheet.
Place in the oven on the upper rack and cook until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Once it is nice and crispy, chop it up for your salad.
In a large bowl, combine the bacon, pasta, gorgonzola, romaine, cabbage, iceberg, tomatoes and red onions.
Add the dressing and toss together until all is well coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
