Kitchen Tools

Preparation

Start by cooking the bacon in a skillet until it’s crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and let it cool before chopping it into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, crumbled blue cheese, and mixed greens. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar to create a dressing.

Pour the dressing over the strawberry mixture and toss gently to coat. Add the crispy bacon on top for a savory crunch.

For an extra burst of flavor, try using candied bacon instead of regular crispy bacon. It will add a touch of sweetness to the dish that pairs perfectly with the salty blue cheese.
