How to Make Bacon Lettuce Salad

  1. Cook bacon: In a medium skillet, cook bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Prepare vegetables: While bacon cooks, thinly slice radishes and red onion. If using cauliflower, break into bite-sized florets.
  3. Assemble salad: In a large bowl, layer lettuce, radishes, red onion, and cauliflower.
  4. Add bacon: Distribute the cooked bacon evenly over the vegetables.
  5. Dress the salad: Spread salad dressing evenly over the bacon layer.
  6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Rest and serve: Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the dressing to soften the vegetables. Gently toss before serving. Enjoy!
