Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 ounces smoked bacon, rind removed, cut into matchsticks (3/4 cup)

Yogurt and Lemon Dressing
Coarse, freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, dry skillet, brown the bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to several layers of paper towels to absorb the fat.
