Servings: 4 people
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: German

Ingredients

  • 200 g lamb's lettuce or corn salad
  • 100 g bacon cubes
Dressing
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • sugar optional

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients and the dressing
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. As soon as they combine add olive oil very slowly and keep on whisking. Season with sugar if needed.
  2. Wash the lettuce and remove excess water from it. I use a salad spinner for that.
  3. Cut the bacon into small cubes and fry them for about 3 minutes over medium heat. I use non-stick-pan without any fat. I prefer my bacon crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you like your bacon cubes crispy then fry them for a bit longer.
Assemble the salad
  1. Mix the salad with the dressing. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Place the salad on the plate and cover it with some bacon cubes.
  3. Serve immediately.
