Salad with Fried Bacon and Tomatoes

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make a bacon salad? Gather the listed ingredients. Wash and dry the vegetables. Hard-boil the quail eggs and let them cool. The dressing is a mix of oil and lemon juice, but you can use whatever dressing you like.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fry the bacon on both sides over medium heat until browned. Then set it on a paper towel to drain the excess fat. I didn't use any oil to fry the bacon.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the lettuce leaves in a deep salad bowl (I used a ready-to-eat bagged salad). Tear the napa cabbage or lettuce by hand or cut it into strips.

4. Step 4:

   

   Lay the fried bacon on top of the lettuce. I left it whole, but you can cut it into smaller pieces if you like.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the boiled quail eggs, cut them in half, and add them to the salad.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the salad.

7. Step 7:

   

   Cut the cucumber into rounds or half-rounds and add it to the rest of the ingredients. I left the peel on, but if you're using greenhouse cucumbers with tough skin, it's better to peel them.

8. Step 8:

   

   Dress the finished salad, salt to taste, toss, and serve right away. Toss gently, ideally with two spatulas — one in each hand. Be careful not to bruise the ingredients so they stay pretty and intact. Enjoy!
