Salad with bacon and pear
4 servings
15 minutes
Bacon and pear salad is a harmony of flavors born in American cuisine, where the crispy salty note of bacon meets the delicate sweetness of ripe pear. This exquisite salad captivates with its contrast: the bitterness of arugula complements the sweetness of caramelized pear, while cherry tomatoes add juiciness. Fragrant parmesan and pine nuts complete the symphony of flavors, making each forkful unique. Such a salad is perfect as a light yet nutritious dish for a summer dinner or festive table. It is easy to prepare but looks impressive—a true delight for both taste buds and eyes.
