Notes
To make this salad in just 10 minutes, be sure to cook the bacon ahead of time. The bacon can be cooked up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
This salad will serve 2-3 people as a main dish, or 4-6 people as a side dish or appetizer.
If you want to make this salad vegetarian, without bacon, I recommending subbing walnuts for the bacon. It will give you a similar salty, crunchy addition to the salad.
