Fry bacon in a big frying pan on medium-high temperature until it's crispy and most of the grease is released, for about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.
Combine lemon juice, shallot, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and honey in a small bowl. Slowly mix in oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to your preference.
