Salad Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Leaf Lettuce
Wash the leaf lettuce thoroughly under running water. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Shave the Radish
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, shave the radish into thin slices. Add the shaved radish to the salad bowl with the lettuce.

Char the Spring Onions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Trim the roots off the spring onions and lightly brush them with olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until charred and softened. Remove from heat, slice into 1-inch pieces, and add to the salad bowl.

Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into pieces and add to the salad bowl.

Add Fresh Parsley
Rinse the fresh parsley under running water, shake off excess water, and chop roughly. Add the chopped parsley to the salad bowl.
