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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to the salad bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and then slice it into thin half-moons. Add these to the bowl.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the slices to the salad.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the salad.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your crispy bacon salad.
