Instructions
- Cut the bacon into small pieces (I use kitchen shears to make this easy) and add it to a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until crispy (about 10 minutes). Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Meanwhile, add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
- Prep your other salad ingredients and add them to a large salad bowl. Add the bacon in once it's cooled down a bit.
- Toss salad with dressing, season with salt & pepper as needed, and serve immediately.
Notes
- As always, adjust salad dressing ingredients to your tastes (e.g. add more lemon or oil).
- Serves 2 as a main course or 4+ as a side salad.
- This tasty salad recipe is also in chapter 7 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
