Ingredients for Bacon Lettuce Salad
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Lettuce
- 1/2 cup radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cauliflower florets
- 6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup your favorite creamy salad dressing (ranch or Caesar recommended)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
How to Make Bacon Lettuce Salad
- 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.
- Prepare vegetables: While bacon cooks, thinly slice radishes and red onion. If using cauliflower, break into bite-sized florets.
- Assemble salad: In a large bowl, layer lettuce, radishes, red onion, and cauliflower.
- Add bacon: Distribute the cooked bacon evenly over the vegetables.
- Dress the salad: Spread salad dressing evenly over the bacon layer.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
- 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!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
