Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, add the baby kale. Slice the crispy bacon and scatter it over the kale. Shave or crumble the Manchego cheese and add it to the bowl. Thinly slice the radishes and add them as well.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh and flavorful salad.
