Ingredients
- 2 pounds mixed tender greens spinach, chard, arugula, young kale, watercress
- 4 radishes thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Thinly sliced red onion or pickled shallots
- 2 hard-boiled eggs quartered
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 8 lices Bacon
- 2/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, toss together the greens, radishes, red onion, eggs and tomatoes.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet, remove the bacon and cool. Crumble or chop the bacon into bite-size bits.
- Reheat the bacon fat in the skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Swirl the pan over the heat for 1-2 minutes to concentrate the flavours.
- Pour the hot dressing over the greens and toss quickly to coat. Sprinkle the greens with the crumbled bacon and blue cheese, if using.
