Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 6 slices Cooked bacon
- 150 grams Feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to the salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then slice it into thin half-moons. Add these to the bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the slices to the salad.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly. Crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the salad.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your crispy bacon salad.
