Salad Featuring Reese Hearts of Palm

Directions

1. 2 cups of lettuce leaves, washed and torn up 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese (I used Scamorza, but you can substitute for feta or blue cheese if you like) 1 tablespoon of bacon bits (I caramelized my bacon with maple syrup) 1 tablespoon of green onions 1 tablespoon of pecans toasted in bacon fat and a teaspoon of maple syrup 2 tablespoons of Reese Hearts of Palm Dressing: 3:1 olive oil to balsamic vinegar, 5 strawberries, 3-4 leaves of fresh basil
2. Layer the salad ingredients. Use a cocktail pestle to macerate the berries and the leaves, then mix the dressing Pour the dressing on the salad – enjoy! The way I cooked the bacon for this dish – I prefer using my baking oven when I cook bacon – I layer the bacon slices on a sheet covered with foil, and then put the bacon in the over to roast at 350 for 8 minutes. Once the first side is fairly crispy, I turn the bacon, and paint a layer of maple syrup on the cooked side, and then place the tray back in the over for another 8 minutes – this will be the best and the easiest bacon you will ever make!
