Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients yield the best flavor, so use high-quality tomatoes, bacon, and lettuce.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, to the salad for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, as the dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
