15 minutes
This salad of fresh vegetables with bacon and pumpkin seeds is the embodiment of balance between crunchy freshness, rich flavors, and lightness. The recipe's origin is rooted in American cuisine, where the combination of healthy ingredients with savory additions is loved. Tender leaves of arugula, frisée, and radicchio create an airy base, while juicy cherry tomatoes and cucumbers add freshness. Smoked bacon gives the dish a rich meaty aroma, while lemon juice and pepper enhance its flavor. The finishing touch comes from pumpkin seeds, adding a pleasant nutty note. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to main meat and fish delicacies.
