instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking the bacon. Place the 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, and chop into smaller pieces.

    While the bacon is cooking, prepare the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    3

    In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of mixed greens and 2 cups of sliced strawberries.

    4

    Add the chopped bacon and 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese to the salad mixture.

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
