Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb bacon, cooled and crumbled
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika

Tips:

  • If you don't have any toasted almonds on hand, you can easily make your own by spreading sliced almonds on a baking sheet and toasting them in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
  • If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
  • This salad can be served as a side dish or a main course. If you are serving it as a main course, add some grilled chicken or tofu for protein.
