Experience the perfect combination of crisp apples and savory bacon that will tantalize your taste buds tonight!

1

Start by cooking all the bacon in a pan over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain on paper towels.

2

While the bacon is cooking, rinse and dry the arugula and place it into a large salad bowl.

3

Slice the apples into thin wedges and add them to the bowl with arugula.

4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.

5

Crush the bacon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad along with walnuts.

6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

7

Serve immediately with an optional sprinkle of extra walnuts or additional apple slices on top.

• Add crumbled blue cheese for an extra tangy flavor.

• Make sure to use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor profile.
• To make it quicker, you can use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits.
• Serve the salad immediately after dressing to keep the arugula crispy.
