Ingredients

  • 4 (1-ounce) slices wheat free bread, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 6 slices turkey bacon, cut crosswise into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

  1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
  2. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet; bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until toasted, turning once. Cool.
  3. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings; set bacon aside. Combine 1 tablespoon drippings, white wine vinegar, and next 4 ingredients (through ground pepper) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add croutons, bacon, and frisée, tossing to coat.
