Cook Bacon:

Prepare Dressing:

Combine Salad with Dressing:
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Ensure that the dressing is distributed throughout the salad.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the taste of the salad.
