1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Slice the onion into thin rings.
2
Roast the Onions
In a baking dish, toss the sliced onions with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown.
3
Cook the Bacon
While the onions are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the house-cured bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
4
Prepare the Mozzarella
While the bacon is cooking, slice the fresh mozzarella into rounds.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the roasted onions, chopped tomatoes, and sliced mozzarella. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and gently toss to combine.
6
Serve
Crumble the crispy bacon over the top of the salad mixture. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or light main course.
