Salad with arugula, bacon, feta and cherry tomatoes. Arugula and bacon salad Arugula and bacon salad

I propose to prepare a very simple and tasty salad with an interesting and piquant dressing. There is nothing unusual in the composition itself. The salad will appeal to those who love arugula, because it is known that it has a special nutty aroma. But the gas station is very interesting. Its composition is rich, the taste is sweet and sour and very pleasant. But if you have difficulty choosing the ingredients for the dressing, then use four main ingredients - oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and brown sugar.

We will need the following basic products:

First, prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients and stir until the sugar melts.

Fry the bacon in a dry frying pan until crispy.

Chop the sweet red onion. I didn’t have any red onions, so I chopped regular ones, and then washed them with cold water to remove excess bitterness.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. If the tomatoes are ordinary, then you just need to cut them into slices.

Place washed arugula and cherry tomatoes in a salad bowl.

Place pieces of cheese and onions on top.

Top with crispy bacon pieces and drizzle with dressing before serving.

A very tasty salad with arugula and bacon is ready.

Bon appetit!
