Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisped to your preference. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.

- If you want to amp up the protein in this salad, try adding chicken, salmon, or hard boiled eggs!
- If you plan on having any leftovers, leave the dressing on the side and toss individual servings. Undressed salad will last around 2-3 days in the fridge, if your salad is already dressed, it will become soggy in the fridge!
- Your homemade salad dressing will last 1 week stored in an airtight container, bottle, or jar.
