In a large skillet over medium heat on the stove, fry the bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Remove all but 80 milliliters of the fat from the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add the garlic and shallot to the skillet and cook over medium heat until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the vinegar and continue cooking over low heat for 3 minutes. Set the dressing aside.
