• Dressing:
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 6 tablespoons white vinegar
• 6 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons ground mustard
• 1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste

• Salad:
• 2 packages mixed salad greens
• 8 slices cooked pepper bacon, torn into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
• 6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
• 2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges

1. Combine sugar, vinegar, water, mustard, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes in a blender and mix on high until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil while blending on low speed until dressing is thick. Season with black pepper and additional salt, if desired. Refrigerate about 3 hours, or up to overnight.
2. Place mixed greens in a large, party-sized bowl. Add bacon, onion, and blue cheese and arrange tomatoes on top. Drizzle desired amount of dressing on top and toss gently to coat.
