4 servings
30 minutes
Iceberg salad with bacon and avocado is the perfect combination of freshness and richness. Crispy iceberg, tender avocado, and crunchy bacon create a harmonious palette of textures, complemented by aromatic garlic croutons. The dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar adds a subtle tang and enhances its flavor. This salad embodies the best traditions of European cuisine, where simplicity of ingredients meets the sophistication of flavor combinations. It is great as a light dinner or an exquisite appetizer for main courses. The salad is not only tasty but also nutritious, as avocado is rich in healthy fats while bacon adds a pleasant salty note. This dish pairs wonderfully with white wine or fresh lemonade drinks.
