Ingrédients
  

  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 4–6 rashers of streaky bacon, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1–2 tomatoes, chopped or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 4 cups Mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, rocket)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • croutons or toasted nuts for extra crunch (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon: Place the chopped bacon in a pan over medium heat. Cook until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Keep a little of the bacon fat if you like to drizzle over the salad.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the salad greens. Slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.
  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion. Sprinkle the crumbled feta on top. Add the crispy bacon pieces.
  • Dress the salad: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  • Optional extras: Add croutons, toasted nuts, or seeds for extra crunch and texture.
