Red Cabbage Salad with Bacon and Goat Cheese

1 small head red cabbage (about 1 pound)
1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
5 1/2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Bacon Dressing (see recipe below)

Remove core from cabbage; thinly slice and chop the rest. Place in a large bowl. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, fry bacon until crisp; drain and add to cabbage. Reserve 1/4 cup drippings for the dressing.

Add goat cheese to cabbage and toss well. Pour hot Bacon Dressing (as much as needed to coat the cabbage) over the cabbage, toss well and serve immediately.

Make 6 servings.

BACON DRESSING:
1/4 cup reserved bacon drippings
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the reserved bacon drippings, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and wine vinegar; heat until hot. Remove from heat and use immediately.
