1package fresh arugula
1package cherry tomatoes
6 to 8slicesof bacon
¼cupshredded Mexican Blend cheese
3slicesred onion
1bottle balsamic dressingor dressing of your choice
Instructions
Slice and fry the bacon until cooked. Drain on a paper towel to absorb the excess grease. Prepare the bacon an hour or two before you’re ready to make the salad so that it will be cold.
Wash and rinse the spinach, arugula and cherry tomatoes. Grab a bowl and add the spinach. Then add the arugula.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and line them along the edge of the bowl.
Add the cooled bacon on top of the greens.
Sprinkle some cheese on top of the bacon.
Slice the red onion. You can go fancy and make a pattern with several slices, or you can just lay the slices on top.
Serve with the dressing of your choice, we have used the balsamic dressing.
