Ingredients:
Step 1: Prepare the Dressing
Begin by creating the base of our salad dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam with an equal amount of water until well-blended. This sweet and syrupy base will act as the foundation for a dressing that perfectly complements both the savory bacon and the sweet peaches.
Pro Tip: Ensure the jam is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Step 2: Combine Dressing Ingredients
With the jam and water mixture ready, proceed by adding the remaining dressing ingredients into the bowl. Continue to whisk everything together until you achieve a harmonious blend. This step ensures that each leaf and slice in your salad will be kissed with flavor.
Pro Tip: A whisk ensures even mixing for a silky-smooth dressing.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed greens, half a sliced cucumber, two sliced peaches, and four slices of cooked and crumbled bacon. The combination of crisp greens, crunchy cucumber, sweet peaches, and the salty bite of bacon creates a symphony of tastes and textures.
Pro Tip: Add the bacon last to maintain its crispiness.
Step 4: Toss the Salad
Pour the previously prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together to ensure that the greens, peaches, and cucumber slices are evenly coated with the sweet and tangy dressing. This step marries all the components, bringing out a burst of flavors in each bite.
Pro Tip: Toss gently to keep the ingredients intact and well-coated.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finally, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cashews over the top of the salad for an added crunch and nutty flavor. The cashews not only provide a delightful texture contrast but also a hint of richness that rounds off the meal beautifully. Your Green Salad with Crispy Bacon and Fresh Peaches is now ready to serve and enjoy!
Pro Tip: Roasting the cashews beforehand can enhance their flavor.
