PEA AND BACON SALAD WITH FRENCH DRESSING
Steps:
- For the French dressing: Plop the ketchup, yogurt, vinegar, mustard, sugar, paprika, onion and salt to taste into a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For the pea and bacon salad: Put the bacon in a large cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
- Add the peas to the bacon fat, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until they get a slight color, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Build the salad. Onto a bed of butter lettuce leaves, scatter the peas and herbs. Crumble and add the bacon. Finish with a grating of Parmesan and a drizzle of dressing. Serve with more dressing on the side.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for crisp bacon, bright green peas, and a creamy, tangy ranch dressing.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will give it a nice smoky flavor and make it easier to crumble.
- Use a variety of greens: A mix of different greens, such as romaine, spinach, and arugula, will add texture and flavor to your salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy and heavy.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is the best way to enjoy the salad when it is at its freshest.
