SPINACH, ARUGULA, AND FRISEE SALAD WITH BLEU CHEESE DRESSING, FRESH TOMATOES, AND CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, over medium heat, heat the oil and cook the onion until lightly browned. Lower the heat and cook until caramelized, about 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, and sage. If the dressing is too thick, loosen the dressing by pouring in a little more of the buttermilk. You want the dressing to be pourable. Season the dressing with salt, and pepper, to taste.
• Combine the spinach, arugula, frisee, tomato, and bacon in a large bowl and dress gently with a few spoonfuls of blue cheese dressing. Add more dressing to taste, but don't overdress the greens. Season the salad with salt, and pepper, to taste.

FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Cut the cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice 12 long 1/2-inch diagonal slices from the baguette, then top with cheese slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet and set aside. .
• Whisk the vinegar, shallot, sugar, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed medium skillet over medium heat and cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
• Add the vinegar mixture to the drippings in the skillet, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Put the frisee in a large bowl and pour the warm dressing over it and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Broil the bread until the cheese is just soft, about 1 minute. Transfer the salad to serving plates, then top with radishes, pecans and pancetta. Top each salad with 3 blue cheese crostini.
