Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil optional
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise select a paleo friendly brand if desired*
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard select a paleo friendly brand if desired**
  • 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar***
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon maple sugar

Goodies

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • ½ cup pistachios lightly salted or unsalted, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up if desired. Place bacon in a single layer, bake 12-15 minutes (depending on thickness), flip, and continue baking until fully cooked about 2-6 more minutes (depending on the thickness). Remove to a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl add dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and maple sugar. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Notes

*Chosen Foods makes my family's favorite paleo friendly mayonnaise. 
**Primal Kitchen is a trusted paleo condiment brand that makes Djion mustard.
***Use whatever vinegar you have on hand. I personally prefer white wine vinegar, however red wine vinegar or white vinegar would also work well in this recipe.
